Podcast Reviews

I love you guys!!!
July 9, 2019 by Spierceaz from United States
You guys are absolutely hilarious! I am listening to your podcast from the very beginning. I can relate to your guys using days. I used for 16 years, I love your guys stories. Keep me coming!
Amazing
July 6, 2019 by DickBiggenstein from United States
I found this podcast later on and I’ve been hooked. I’ve been going through a lot of the older episodes and love the discussions, non-preachy attitude, and how real Dave is. I was very surprised and sad to find out about Chris and Todd. It’s a sad reminder that a relapse can happen to anyone if they’re not careful. My cousin is currently on a dope run and he’s OD’d several times already. If I have the chance to speak with him again (no idea where he’s at) I’d like to introduce him to this podcast as well. I think he would resonate with this podcast more than others. Dave, thank you for continuing to produce this podcast after Chris passed. I appreciate everything you do brother. Stay strong Dopey nation!
Fascinating voyeuristic view into addiction, mental health, and recovery
June 27, 2019 by MPLSMillennial from United States
Although this podcast was started by two drug addicts, there truly is something here for any human being to appreciate, learn from, and enjoy. I really admire the candidness with which Dave speaks, and that he allows us to look into his mind, his life, and his heart. I am not an addict, but like most people I know at least one and I’m sure there are people in my life that I don’t even know struggle with addiction in some form. This podcast is incredibly entertaining, informative, and inspiring. I look forward to many years of listening to Dopey.
More dopey

BEST PODCAST!
June 19, 2019 by valleyfromNJ from United States
Amazing podcast! Dave’s great! Smart funny and super easy to listen to. And sometimes you get the privilege of hearing his original music... like Good so bad or my personal favorite Forever and Dead!!! So good! As a 34 year old habitual IV heroin and cocaine addIct.... 3 yrs in recovery....it’s really hits home. But I would love it even if I never touched a drug! I listen to this whole catalogue EVERY day at work. I’ve just started over at episode 1 to listen AGAIN to every episode. I do miss the episodes with Chris because they were the best but Dave on his own is great too! Love you Dave I really feel like I know you. My boyfriends mother... who has never done drugs EVER actually turned me on to this podcast so that’s a testament to the fact that you don’t have to be an addict to love this podcast! You’ve wanted reviews since day one Dave so here u go! Stay strong Dopey Nation!!!!!! ?? Dave please send me forever and dead or a link to it so I can hear it every day!!!! Valerie from NEW jersey...Life long citizen of the dopey nation!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️
Thoughtful and hilarious.

Obsessed with this podcast, I’m on episode 28 I believe. Probably my #1 favorite podcast right now. I love hearing stories about drugs and they tell them in such a hilarious way. I laugh all day long. Definitely recommending to everyone I know.

I came to listen to Dopey from This American Life. I’ve listened to quite a few episodes and have been examining my life a lot since. Thank you.
Another Australian
June 6, 2019 by Aussie #7259 from Australia
I got into Dopey through This American Life and I couldn’t be happier to have found it. It’s so refreshing to hear such down to earth people speaking so frankly about the human condition. I don’t partake anymore, but the ‘banter’ is top notch (as we say in Australia) and I can imagine my old friends and Dave and Chris getting along well as I listen to the early episodes. Of course I was crushed to learn about Todd and Chris - my heart goes out to you, Dave. Stay strong, Dopey Nation!
Just what I needed
May 31, 2019 by 2Jstro from United States
I'm in year three of my recovery from drugs and alcohol. I go to Refuge Recovery, which I love and know has saved me, but I don't hear many down in the gutter needle in the arm stories in our meetings, and I crave them like an addict. When I found Dopey, I had an aha moment; this is what my recovery has been missing, and it's hilarious. Dopey helps me stay sober, thanks.
PLEASE Have Peter talk more

I need to hear more about depression. Please have Peter back or help him do his own podcast. I WANT more Peter please. He’s also hilarious.
Dave's Heart Dropped
May 24, 2019 by M.C. Confuz from United States
Did anyone else hear Dave's mouth salivate when she talked about the guy with "a duffel bag full of $50,000 worth of dope"
SO relatable! SO funny! SO worth it!
May 22, 2019 by Panda89Fox96 from United States
My sponsor introduced me to this podcast RIGHT when I got sober and my wife and I are HOOKED! I feel like so many meetings are so sad and sometimes they need to be to get through to us but this, as perfectly described by my sponsor, is all of the stuff you want to say in meetings that you can’t say! All the funny stories that you wish you could tell without glorifying your drug of choice with SO much honestly and humor. I seriously can’t get enough and I want a Dopey T-Shirt!!!!! SELL DOPEY TEES!!!!!
Grateful for this pod
May 19, 2019 by Jchell1986 from Canada
Thank for continuing the podcast Dave! You are turning the loss of Chris into something bigger than all of us. You are doing a beautiful thing here.
A welcome course correction
May 19, 2019 by Fayemarion from United Kingdom
Written 6th May 'Not sure about the last few guests Dykstra and Benza. Kinda veering off into sleazy low grade celeb gossip vibes. Didn't feel particularly cool (or kind) to name the Irish boxer in active use. Dave I love what you have achieved so far and I genuinely wish you well but... If you're heading in this sleazy macho direction (btw no hard feelings if that's where the downloads and $$$ are) I'll sign out.' Update 19th May - Good to hear the course correction with Warren Boyd and sweet Hanna. The show is strongest (in my humble opinion) when you stick the folk who have made contact with support groups and have a spark of desire to stop. The guests (particularly celeb guests) who have no desire to stop and are in full denial kinda bring vibe down. War stories are best told when someone tells them with respect for anonymity and kindness towards the the still sick and suffering. Otherwise it's just another gossip podcast exploiting the suffering of sick people and I know that's not what you are aiming at. I did hear you say to Warren not to name names which is a really good idea for legal reasons and being a decent human reasons.
Dope show
May 17, 2019 by Milla pinch from Australia
A new listener from Australia. Also in recovery since November last year. Sometimes it’s triggering but mostly it’s comforting in the way NA and AA are. Thanks for the work and keep enjoying your sobriety. Rest in strength Chris.
It's the Best
May 14, 2019 by Squamuel from United States
I want to start off by saying that Dopey has been the #1 influence in my life in terms of encouraging me to take steps towards recovery. When I got into Dopey about a year ago I had just graduated from college with a bag of black tar tucked under my gown, with no notion of what I wanted to do with my life. I wasn't ready to abandon drugs, but I knew something had to change. Much as Dave+Chris intended, I sought Dopey out originally for the dopey stories and stayed for the recovery. This winter I discovered that my partner had been lying about her sobriety, and her drug use continues to be very difficult and painful for me. Staying sober ain't easy when you live in dope's company. Dopey has been instrumental in giving me a platform for understanding and approaching the tough things I know I need to do if I want a chance of having the life I want. I have started to attend meetings semi-regularly, work with an addiction specialist, significantly reduce my pot consumption, and taper off suboxone. I currently listen to dopey for 1-4 hours a day, and am working through all the episodes consecutively for the 2nd time. I love the perspective Dopey gives me, but realize that it alone can't save me. I feel immense gratitude to Dave for keeping the podcast going and keeping me company. I was always more of a Dave guy, but as I have grown to be a bigger fan, Chris's life and death have come to mean a great deal to me. I can't begin to express my gratitude to both of the two beautiful people who started this podcast, and hope that as dopey continues to grow so do I. TOOODLES

I listen to Dopey all day and all night. Thank Christ my girlfriend likes it too. I’m past my addictions but I’m not clean. It’s still tough. Laughing about it helps.
Moving, Hilarious and Tragically Beautiful
May 13, 2019 by dannyreils from United States
I, like many, heard about this podcast recently from the This American Life feature and got completely hooked. I went back as far as I could and listened from the beginning to hear the story unfold. I guess I’d consider myself a normie, typical blackout drunk from back in my college days, however I did grow up with an alcoholic father in and out of rehabs and AA rooms who also suffered from depression and was a heavy cigarette smoker. For some reason this podcast helped me understand the worst years of my father’s alcoholism prior to his death from a heart attack when I was only 19. This podcast has shown me how beautiful friendship can be through Chris and Dave’s antics, and also reminded me how fragile life is when faced with addiction. Dave, thanks for reminding us how awesome the [seemingly] small things in life are and keep up the great work. I find this podcast to be amazing and the message your sending is critical to all of us, even normies like me, keepnup the great work.
Making my commute great again!
May 13, 2019 by mattam208 from United States
I listen to dopey daily while I commute. It has the perfect blend of recovery, depravity, and insight. You have a lifelong subscriber here. The first episode I heard was one of the newer ones and knew I had to start at the beginning. Im now on 165 and addicted. Stay Strong and Toodles for Chris!
Dopey is my new addiction
May 11, 2019 by BigKidRy from United States
Dopey the Podcast about the podcast Dopey and this is a review about that Podcast. Hands down I love having Chris and Dave in my head space. I first heard of Dopey when the interview the The Baby Gorilla Artie Lang. Shortly afterwards we lost Chris. I went back and started with episode 1. At first I was wanted to listen and see if I can fine any signs of Chris’s downfall. I can’t, but I can say I love this show more than Clam chowder from Gloucester MA. Keep your head up Dave and stay strong Dopey Nation. ATD, Ryan
You want to be a part of this!
May 11, 2019 by fsucrewshayne from United States
I stumbled upon this podcast about a month ago, as this was one of my many attempts to understand and reckon with a close family member’s drug addiction. As a “normie,” I was instantly hooked, and I have already listened to 80 episodes in just over 30 days. I told myself I wouldn’t write a review until I got to episode 100 (even though Dave and Chris tell the Dopey Nation to write a review at least three times an episode, conservatively). But I changed my mind, wanting to wax poetic about this amazing podcast a little sooner. This is certainly a podcast about drugs, addiction, recovery, and other dumb sh**, but it’s about a lot more than that. It is about friendship and love. It is about facing your demons. It is about telling the messed up stories of your life and having people who understand them and accept you regardless. This is the most real, most raw podcast I’ve ever listened to. Dave and Chris have a way of making their listeners truly feel like we are part of something bigger, something more important. This podcast really is for anyone- not just addicts. Trust me, you want to be a part of Dopey Nation.
Best Podcast EVER!!!

Someone I love is struggling with addiction. Listening has given me another perspective - one I needed. Thanks for sharing your stories. Thanks for your openness, honesty, and levity. I never thought I’d be able to laugh at any of this, but I laugh out loud every single episode. Stay strong Dopey Nation.
FRIDAY NIGHT!
May 4, 2019 by RebeccaLucilleG from United States
I look forward to your episodes every Friday night! You’re doing such an incredible job! I’m a huge Howard fan so, love all the Howard references. Anyway, this keeps me going strong in my sobriety, so thank you! Toodles!
Can’t stop....
May 4, 2019 by ami raec from United States
So I heard the story about this podcast through this American life and from then on I really can’t stop listening. I’m on episode 80 and it’s hard to believe Chris is gone from listening to his voice for what seams like a long time. Dave you are awesome and so was Chris. Your podcast has just gotten better and better with time and I look forward to hearing upcoming episodes. Anyways I am 28 years young and a recovering heroin addict and boy do these stories bring me back. I have 5 years clean and it’s hard to believe I was once that girl from all those stories I hear on here in one way or another. I also really love how you include your listeners into your podcast. Keep up the good work!
Unbelievable
May 3, 2019 by AutumnDaley from United States
I’m new to your podcast. You should know that I’m utterly obsessed. You have a great thing going. Don’t stop sharing Dave. The show is amazing through love and loss. Much love.
Officially afflicted
May 2, 2019 by Mac111680 from United States
After hearing about Dopey on This American Life, I have been unable to listen to any other podcast. I am completely addicted! I have listened to over 40 episodes and am racing through them trying to listen to every single one before the anniversary of Chris’s Death. Dave you are completely amazing for staying strong and continuing on with the podcast. I am unafflicted by drugs, but this podcast still has me hooked! Chris is my spirit animal for being completely clueless on somethings despite being highly intelligent. Today I finally googled who Artie Lang is. Maybe tomorrow I will check out who Nick Reiners dad even is. I’m learning so much on this podcast about life and substance abuse and I just can’t get enough of the banter and real conversations! I wish I had started listening to Dopey live in the beginning so I could have emailed in and respond to all of your stupid ‘write us a review’ pleas. I must warn any potential listeners that once you start listening you won’t be able to stop. Stay strong dopey nation. Tootles.

I absolutely love the show, I’m Polish living in England, on like 55th episode. It’s like Dopey changed my mood and perception of myself as I can identify so much, I know I’m not a weirdo! I listen to it at work and It’s not I go work anymore. I go to listen to Dopey and work is done somehow in the meantime;) I recommend to anyone I only can. Dave you do an amazing job, I don’t know how to accept the fact that I’m gonna have to miss Chris in the future.
Sending Normie Love
April 26, 2019 by tiniestbb from United States
I discovered this podcast about a week before of the TAL segment. I am not afflicted, but have always had a soft spot for addiction memoirs. It’s incredible to listen to the relationships showcased by Dopey. Dave, despite whatever you may think are your shortcomings, it is obvious that you are a good friend, partner, and father. The same qualities that make you a good person, make you a good interviewer. Few people can connect with a guest the way that you do. I feel as if I don’t know Chris as well given that I started listening after his passing. I really enjoy Chris in the early episodes. His understanding of his sobriety seemed so clear at the time. I hate that he wasn’t able to stay clean. I’m sorry you lost him and I’m sorry you lost Todd. Thank you for creating Dopey. I may not be able to relate to everything, but I love listening just the same.
I'm addicted
April 25, 2019 by Patriciabwalker from United States
I am addicted to dopey. I hope they start a 12 step program or write a big book to help me deal with my addiction. Lucky I just found it so I have plenty episodes to get my fix.

Dopey Is Dope
April 22, 2019 by MacRealGirl from United States
Hey Dave! Love you man. I heard about this podcast from listening to This American Life and I’ve been binging it, in true addict fashion, ever since. I just celebrated my second year of clean time on 4/16/2019. Dopey is irreverent, funny, smart, stupid and profound. As I write this review I’m struck with the feeling that; like when I share in a meeting, I want this to be meaningful and entertaining and funny and awe inspiring. And like when I share in meetings, it feels like I’m falling flat. Anyway, it’s great/scary traveling this road to recovery and all things Dopey make it more tolerable. A small part of me wants to be a guest on your show. However, for those in the back, I’m not that entertaining.
Great podcast love it
April 22, 2019 by Mike Viv from United States

April 18, 2019 by Bunzow from United States
This podcast is amazing!! I heard about it like many others from This American Life. Since then, I have listened to probably 100 episodes, starting from the first even ones. Dave and Chris had incredible chemistry, listening to them tell their stories has provided so much entertainment and laughter. I love Dave, and I miss Chris. Toodles!
Keeping this addict company
April 18, 2019 by Worcester Dan from United States
Listening to this podcast since last fall. Worth listening to all the back episodes. Chris passing was such a gut punch to the seriousness of this disease. They say in the hall it affects everyone from jail to yale Chris was both. RIP Chris. That said Dave has done a fantastic job carrying the torch. Stay strong Dopey Nation!

Late to the party
April 17, 2019 by 196268421 from United States
I just heard about you guys for the first time on an old episode of This American Life, (which is kind of funny now that I think about it... the NPR crowd prob isn’t who you were aiming for when you and Chris started talking to Dopey Nation...) But I was instantly intrigued, and I’ve been binge-listening for the past 48 hours. You guys are great. I’m 9 years sober and Chris’s story hit me hard. Hoping to be the 1000th review for him. Thanks Chris and Dave, from the newest member of Dopey Nation.
Paving the way for drug addiction podcasts
April 17, 2019 by Tinder is trash from United States
Dopey walks the perfect line between drugs & addiction podcasts. It’s not too preachy on recovery yet not too triggering and still hitting the fans with debauchery. There seems to be a wave of new podcasts popping up since Dopey’s success but this podcast is the first and the best and has paved the way it should be done. Stay Strong Dopey Nation.

Hands down the best podcast of them all!!
April 11, 2019 by Boadey0077 from United States
I was turned onto Dopey by a friend, it was explained to me as dark comedy rooted in drugs, alcohol, and addiction. I’ve been listening for a couple weeks now. Starting from the first avail. Episode and moving forward. I’m now completely caught up, and I can honestly say this pod cast has had me in tears. Both through laughter and sadness. None the less Dopey is not afraid to lay it all out. The stories are hilarious and the emphasis on recovery still shines through, without shoving it down your throat. You’re doing an amazing job Dave, You have another life long fan. Stay strong Dopey Nation....toodles.

Normie needs dopey
April 11, 2019 by sun.shine.mama from United States
As a grateful member of al-anon for a year, I’ve found myself wanting to attend na/aa meetings to hear stories about recovery and find out what recovery looks like, what catalyzes it, and most importantly... is it real? Dopey is raw, infuriating, eye opening, and so full of love. It’s just what this normie needed :)))) Toodles<333
Best. Podcast. Ever.
April 10, 2019 by Baltimore Stephen from United States
Enough said. But seriously, I love this show. I spend enough of my time hearing/sharing pure experience, strength, and hope while I’m at meetings. But when I’m hanging out with my friends, my crew so to speak, this show is how we talk to each other. Laughing at the terrible insanity of our past, and sharing a true bond because of our common problem. Listening to this show is like hanging out with a best friend I’ve never even met. If you’re a person in recovery you need to listen to this show, or you’ll probably relapse. Just saying.
New fan
April 9, 2019 by Dadevilhimself from United States
I discovered Dopey from This American Life Podcast. I went back as far as my App would let me (episode 33). I want to listen to 1 through 32. I found 1 & 2 on YouTube, but that’s it. Is the rest lost? Also, I wish there were more YouTube videos like the 1st episode. That was awesome. Whatever happened to Brad? Is he still the producer?
Helpful for those who love addicts too
April 9, 2019 by Marfmeeming from United States
I’ve been listening to this every day as I catch up. Each episode gives me some bit of insight into what my husband may have been going through. Though not an addict myself, hearing people’s stories of their dark times as well as recovery makes me feel not alone as we struggle through this together. I cried hard during Chris’s last episodes because I truly felt I knew him by spending so much time with his story. Dave, I am so pleased with how you are carrying it on and the podcast is growing. My husband wrote with you when he was still in his secretive phase and I am forever grateful for you and Chris.
It’s Like Coming Home

April 5, 2019 by Shaneoh2h from United States
I’ve attempted to listen to countless podcasts that deal with all kinds of interesting subject matter and They all share one great failing, hosts who’s voices make you want to jam a screwdriver into your ear canal. Dopey is the exception. Aside from topics that are near and dear to me as a recovering iv drug user, I also connect with Dave and Chris (rip) on a personal level and the chemistry between the two is undeniable and genuinely fun to listen to. Listening to dopey feels like hanging out with old friends and telling stories trying to crack each other up.
Dopey is dope
April 5, 2019 by Pooks13 from United States
Dopey makes me laugh at the desperate and depraved choices those of us who are afflicted make while we’re active without making me feel jonesy. Instead, I’m reminded that picking up again would be the worst possible choice I could ever make. It’s experience, strength and hope with war stories. I love it!

April 3, 2019 by laur_la from United States
Started listening after hearing the episode of This American Life which broke my heart. I am not afflicted so a lot of what they talk about is completely new and shocking to me. I had no idea how many people live their lives this way. The podcast helps humanize addicts in my eyes. Really enjoy it, keep it up Dave.
Solid Schtick
April 3, 2019 by Dingleberry_flea from United States
I've been listening to these episodes post rehab and the heartfelt comedic insight have been a good companion for the road and home. While Chris will be missed, Dave continues the Dopey legacy with his effortless storytelling and conversations with guests. Whether you are afflicted or not, be sure to give this podcast a try, you will be pleasantly surprised :) Stay strong Dopey Nation! Toodles

So Relatable

Love the show. Dave is a great musician.
Thanks for helping me stay strong
March 27, 2019 by juliesoller from United States
I started listening not long ago when I got into recovery for weed addiction. Since that moment I have been listening to this podcast every day and have 43 days clean now. Thank you guys, you and Reddit r/leaves are keeping me on the straight and narrow and I never want to go back to smoking weed. Even though it was fun to grow, I am done. Probably wouldn't be able to do it without my program and you guys, even though Chris is no longer with us, I haven't listened that far yet. Thank you for helping me stay strong. I love the funny phrases like Rope-a-Dope and the scenes of New York and Dave's restaurant. I love the guy who wrote in saying he didn't know if he was a 'normie with afflicted tendencies' and Dave says, "If you say that you're probably just an addict." Keep it real and stay strong Dave. I'm also the creator of a live storytelling show in Oakland, California and our April 20 show (4/20) is all about Drugs. Although I do a Drugs show every year, this will be an especially good one since I'm no longer a stoner but I still love to hear other peoples' stories. Maybe I can hit you with some Dopey from that show when it's done. Peace.
Excellent podcast

Salve for the Soul
March 22, 2019 by chiquiz from United States
I started listening to Dopey after I heard it discussed on This American Life. It comes off as goofy at first listen, since it sounds unedited, is not recorded with the best sound equipment, and is inscripted. But as I listened, I was reeled in and it is now my favorite podcast. I am a long time podcast listener and am a recovering alcoholic and IV drug user. In AA meetings, which I've been attending for decades, I prefer speaker meetings and what are referred to as "war stories." Also in meetings, members apologize for "rambling" or deviating from the topic, and these ramblings are the more meaningful and compelling part of their shares. Therefore, hearing drug stories and rambling banter is ideal for me, especially since I suffer from ADD. I'm sorry for your losses, Dave, but the honest processing and grieving you did on the show was an evolved, deep and inspiring example of true recovery in action and shows that a recovering person doesn't have to go out and medicate themselves when faced with a devastating event. I just heard episode 41 in which Chris said that if he were to relapse and die . . . just giving an example to make a point, was poignant. We know that is often the result, but denial allows us to assume that's not going to happen to me or those close to us because we are in recovery. Making one impulsive, poorly thought out decision can be deadly. Thanks for taking the time to read this review if you have. Stay strong, Dopey Nation, and toodles to Chris, A devoted fan, Chiquiz

Not for the judgemental or faint of heart
March 13, 2019 by esidarap from United States
Equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking, tragic and uplifting. For anybody that has ever been afflicted with substance addictions, or watched someone they love spiral out of control, Dopey is not to be missed. Doesn’t just hit close to the bone, it’s a direct hit.
The realest and funniest podcast out there
March 12, 2019 by ucpete from United States
I’m the Dopey equivalent of a Touch Head, the Grateful Dead fans that hopped on the train late in the game when the “Touch of Grey” music video came out: I started listening after hearing about Dopey on This American Life. It’s saddening and daunting to know that Chris is dead while I listen back from the beginning - I’m on episode 106 now after starting with the earliest available episode (#30?) - especially with the jokes foreshadowing his inevitable relapse and death littered throughout the early episodes. While not afflicted (certainly not to the degree that Dave and Chris and others are), this show has been a revelation for me and has made me more mindful of my behavior and the behavior of friends and family when it comes to drugs and alcohol. It’s no surprise how many folks have been helped by the catharsis and laughs this show provides for those in need. I’ve got some extremely dopey stories - some my own, others about friends - but I’ll save those for when I’ve caught up to real time. RIP Chris and Todd, and I trust Dave is staying strong and hope that the show is still going strong now. I also hope that reading fan voice memos is still a thing when I reach the present episodes, as I’ve got some funny ones to share. Thanks Dopey! - pete
funny and addicting podcasts
March 12, 2019 by Brookeisalmost8 from United States
Dopey is great. Dave and Chris have kept me entertained for hours. I miss Chris but Dave is charging ahead but not nearly as raw and funny as it was with Chris. Chris was sweet, with ridiculously addict stories of debauchery and the insanity addiction brings. He was def heavily inflicted and it got him in the end. I think Dave should release the episodes they say were "deleted". Come on I know they are somewhere safe! Thanks Dave for keeping it together and staying strong for a nation that needs all the help we can get.
Thank you, Dopey!
March 11, 2019 by Mr Justin England from United Kingdom
Dopey has become, with age, like ‘fine wine’. Wine we can’t drink of course, but it has gotten better and better thanks to Dave taking a tragedy and turning it into something special. If none of the above makes sense it’s because there is NO way of explaining just how great this show is and how much it’s helped myself and countless others. There are no words, only five stars that should be ten! I miss Chris and his vape tapping, his giggling and the great chemistry the two had and also the fact that these two legends created this phenomenal pod. Unfortunately the disease took him but as I said, instead of shutting it down, Dave took Dopey & well... just listen to the show! Subscribe. Laugh. Cry. Learn. Enjoy! Toodles.

I recently got into listening to Dave and Chris. I was instantly in love with the two of them. I struggle with addiction and it helps to have something to laugh about. Dave I’m so sorry about Chris. Although I’m not religious my heart goes out to all of you guys. Much love thanks for the wonderful show ❤️❤️❤️

Adore this podcast. I’m probably one of the many who picked this podcast up via This American Life. Despite being a non-drug taker, and have never been interested in doing so, I think your episodes have a broad appeal. The chemistry Dave and Chris had was magical and Dave has continued doing an amazing job. 5 stars.
Thank you

I’m also a recovering heroin addict (five years thanks Bill. W) and only heard about this show after the This American Life episode. This show is everything! I’ve been listening non stop and just want to thank you for adding something to my life that is funny and real and a reminder of what happens when we go back out. I’m sorry for the loss of Chris, thank you for staying strong Dave and leading the dopey nation.

Listened to the TAL episode and had to listen to dopey. I am not an addict but have been so interested in addiction and was moved by Dave and Chris story. Have been listening to the older episodes and love the banter and connection between Dave and Chris.
Makes recovery fun and has potentially saved my life
March 7, 2019 by B0ssm0mmy from United States
I have been an avid listener of many Recovery podcasts but none make me feel how I do when I listen to Dopey. I had always thought Dopey wasn’t for me just by judging the looks of it.. I’m not a heroin addict and I tend to gravitate towards the typical sobriety podcasts where people tell their story in an interview setting. After hearing about Chris’s death on That Sober Guy, I started bingeing from the beginning and Dave and Chris feel like family. The stories are raw and as real as it gets, but I love the humor in their dialogue as well. Dave has kept me motivated in staying sober as it is so evident that he is extremely happy in sobriety, and Chris is a reminder of what can happen if I go “out” there again. Love them both, and this podcast. Dave, please keep it going... you have helped me more than you will ever know. Xoxo Amanda (Former terrible drunk; wife and mom)
Funny, fascinating and engaging
March 6, 2019 by dmm83danni from Australia
I’ve started Dopey from the start and love it. I am not an addict and find it fascinating. It has given me an appreciation and understanding of addiction. I started listening to this while I was pretty stressed and waiting for results from a cancer biopsy. Luckily I’m all clear but the comedy and stories in dopey helped me keep my sense of humour through a tough time and prevented me from feeling too sorry for myself. Thanks Chris and Dave.
Dopey
March 6, 2019 by reallypissychrissy from United States
Found you through this America life. Love your banter. I have been on a listening bing for the last couple weeks. Helps me get through work. Chris had a great laugh. You and him had a special relationship for sure and it is missed. Not only is it a Great War story podcast but you guys also touch on many self discoveries people deal with. I think many people that have never been through any form of recovery kinda walk the earth without those epiphanies. It’s good for all to hear. Not sure if I am making sense but main point is dopey is a great podcast and thank you for making it! Christine
Hands down the best podcast of them all!!
March 6, 2019 by Boadey0077 from United States
I was turned onto Dopey by a friend, it was explained to me as dark comedy rooted in drugs, alcohol, and addiction. I’ve been listening for a couple weeks now. Starting from the first avail. Episode and moving forward. Dopey is not afraid to lay it all out. The stories are hilarious and the emphasis on recovery still shines through, without shoving it down your throat. You have another life long fan. Stay strong Dopey Nation....toodles.
The dopest dope that's ever doped
March 6, 2019 by Lony6 from United States
These guys are pretty great. As a non diagnosed Normy with potently addictive behavior, the stories these guys tell about drugs are a view into a whole other world I knew existed but I knew nothing about. The stories show a glimpse into the lowest of parts of humanity that show people as little more than animals chasing one pleasure after another with no ability to use reason because of the enslavement to their addiction. But while I find these stories beyond depressing Dave and Chris and guests are laughing and making fun of themselves because of their freedom and confidence they have in their sobriety or recovery. (I don't really understand the vocabulary.) While I have never used drugs nor am I in a 12 step program, maybe I should be I don't know, I connect alot with the emotional, relational, and physical triggers that lead to addiction. They turned to drugs and I turn to my own problems. Anyways, I'm a big fan of what they do even without having a clue what they're taking about anything drug related, but the talk about 12 steps and addictive behavior is powerful and authentic. Stay strong, my friends.

Like I said in the title I’m a girl (woman, 40) and even though it’s mostly dudes on the show I completely support you pigs! Good job and keep it up. Stay strong Dopey Nation! Kelli

I’m not an addict. Found out about this on this Am Life. I have hundreds of podcasts but i like to listen to old episodes of this podcast for fun. It cheers me up. I’ve listened to the last 75 episodes. Plan on listening to all 175 then going back n listening to all of them again. It’s just that fun. But i’ve also learned s lot. I love Dr Drew but have to admit he is dull. Hope u find the next Chris.

March 5, 2019 by Pandersoj from United States
I have Been binging Dopey in reverse since querying heroin in This American Life. Btw There exists a couple of other good dope related This American Life episodes for anyone interested. Dave has a rare natural ability to connect with people on a deep level indiscriminately. I think he's just getting comfortable with his newfound talent, leading him to endlessly coax reassurance from his guests, confirming he's doing a great job. I'm jealous of his extroversion and ability to maintain friendships, a family. These connections are rare in recovery and loneliness is one of the many hallmarks of it. I believe this is the cornerstone in his stable abstinence. Dave's honesty is honorable. I connect more to Chris, being a privileged WASP that likes to tinker with his brain chemistry and is fascinated by the science of drugs. I'm currently smoking a G of dope a day, have been off and on for about a year and have some fire coke tonight which is unusual but welcome as I have to stay up all night due to my sleeping 'til four today. Have to get back on schedule right? I've never shot dope and don't plan to, but reluctantly assisted my ex in puncturing her tiny veins many times. Before the dope, that I never thought I'd become addicted to, I was a self-medicating drunk (social anxiety) and Adderall addict. Anyway, I procured Iboga root off the dark net, this is my second order and it is fantastic. I highly recommend you get an Iboga expert ex-junkie on the show. Your episodes that touched on it were funny, but the subject deserves more attention. Thanks and keep it up Dave, I love it!
Seriously funny and honest
March 5, 2019 by Chapoto4 from United States
The general humor and banter between Chris and Dave is what really sucked me into this great podcast. It’s been fun seeing these two grow a podcast from nothing. I love how honest and raw these two are about their lives. I knew Chris had passed away before I started listening, but I grew so fond of him through a couple dozen episodes that I was genuinely heart broken when I got to his last few episodes. I was so sad I couldn’t get myself to listen to any more. Listening to the two of you has made me a better friend, and certainly more sympathetic to people struggling with addiction and mental illness. Dave, if you read this, I LOVE the story you tell Chris about the Indian guy at the farm calling the goats milk “medium”, and the conversation about Chris sweating so bad he “dries” up walking to the brain trauma clinic. Hysterical stuff and tootles for Chris. Keep it up!

I heard about Dopey from 'This American Life' and am catching up. The podcast is insightful for family, friends, lovers of the afflicted. It's hard not to analyze these relationships, and you're giving a non-judgmental perspective that does truly help. Be strong! We're all listening, Dave. Lee
Making my commute great again!
February 26, 2019 by mattam208 from United States
I listen to dopey daily while I commute. It has the perfect blend of recovery, depravity, and insight. I’m only on episode 54 so far but you have a lifelong subscriber here. The first episode I heard was one of the newer ones and knew I had to start at the beginning. I hope someday to be able to hear the lost episodes. Stay Strong and Toodles for Chris!

February 25, 2019 by Michellephant24 from United States
I always look for cool genuine podcasts where it’s not your regular “interview where we talk about a, b, and c.” Heard about this from a this American life segment and cried listening to the story, then stopped it and started listening to this podcast from ep 1, now up to 35. I love getting to know the guys and their sense of humor and way they talk is just like me and my friends. It’s sad knowing about Chris in real time, and making it worse because I’m getting attached right now from back then, but can’t stop won’t stop I guess.
Keep on Keeping On
February 24, 2019 by MrsGooneybird from United States
There is nothing like this out here now. I’m glad “This American Life” brought this to my attention. I’m giving this 5 stars. The episode 142, Chris nails it. He says something to the effect that hearing the stories has a better chance at getting people to seek help, than other traditional approaches. With opioids especially, you or your friends can be laughing one day & be dead the next. We all know it, but we keep using. The content is very real. And the episode 143 is heartbreaking. I’m so sorry. I started using opioids for legitimate medical issues, but found myself dependent. Ended up on suboxone, but I can’t seem to cut off my chemical leash. I wish I’d never started opioids. Living with this dependency has been horrific. It has changed me in ways I’d never have guessed. We lost our house & countless relationships. I stayed in an abusive, unhealthy relationship. I almost lost my kids & my job. I believe my life will be cut short due to this. I still can’t seem to go to any meetings. This podcast has helped motivate me to taper. I have hope again. “I want to be good so bad.”
I look forward to new episodes every Fri

Audio, Audio, Audio
February 21, 2019 by tokyokyoko from United States
Dave read a “bad” review in a recent episode that said the audio was really lacking. I don’t think that was a bad review but a pointed observation. I completely agree with the writer that the audio quality detracts from the awesomeness. The show has serious potential, but it has to allow for improvement to grow. Part of that is insulating the podcast space and buying better equipment. Other than that, (and the need for more women!!) I love it. I, too, started listening after This American Life, and I, too, have been personally affected by the overdoses of loved ones and toxic alcoholism. This show addresses it all. It’s deep in a rare way; uniquely oriented toward the human experience and how we cope with it all—life, death, and suffering.

Unbelievably relevant to more people than you know.
February 17, 2019 by skotmb from United States
Admittedly, I was only made aware of the podcast via latest ep of This American Life. That being said, I’ve listened to nothing but Dopey starting from the earliest episode available and still going. Wish I had known about Dopey from the beginning of their conception of the show. Love everyone on the show and their has been no “ruined” episode I’ve listened to so far. Keep up the great and incredibly underrated work. I hope the exposure y’all finally received from said episode of TAL does the same for many others as it’s done for me.

I started listening a couple episodes before the NPR piece came out and I’ve been getting caught up on past episodes ever since. I can’t say enough good things about Dopey. It’s amazing and relatable and It’s the best thing I never knew I needed. Dopey makes me laugh until I cry, and the song at the end makes me cry until I laugh! I love everything about this podcast. It’s the realest thing Ive ever heard and dopey nation IS strong!! Jamie Lee Curtis said it best, “Remember why you started.” Thank you, Dave! This takes balls and yours must be huge!!

I first heard about this podcast from This American Life. I’m not afflicted, but only by the sheer grace of God putting my husband in my life when He did. It’s cathartic to listen to. I’ve binge listened and am on episode 71. The podcast is so real. I can’t recommend it enough. It’ll give you a birds eye view into the life of addiction and recovery. It’s like Dave and Chris become part of your family. Which makes the knowledge of what comes so much harder. I’ve lost too many to this disease. Please ssdn and know you are loved. You matter. #toodles

EDIT Note to self: don’t write reviews on bad days... this is really a five star+ podcast. Truly the best. The Chris era was beautiful because you get to hear an awesome bromance blossom. Now we get to hear Dave master his interviewing skills. He’s still such a joy to listen to and probably will never stop?‍♀️ hopefully this 5 star takes back my previous 2 star.

February 14, 2019 by kathy_gh from United States
I heard the piece on This American Life n loved it. Am now binging all episodes n neglecting all my favorite news n story podcasts to listen to these. Funny the podcast about addiction is so dn addictive. I have no experience or familiarity w addiction. It’s good to learn. But I’m coming back for the great stories. Dave’s commentary is hilariously natural. This should be pitched as a sitcom. Both funny n tragic. My only complaint is that Linda, though nice, makes the show dull. She’s too serious n saps the energy from the show. I like it when guests tell their story. Thanks for the show n hope u can monetize the show for your sake.

This show is great. The new episode after they were on this American Life is not a good example of how great this show can be. The guest Bob Forest or whoever is annoying and won’t stop talking and he is an absolute idiot. Shut up and let the host do his thing. Chris was the perfect balance. This dude just talks and doesn’t listen. SHUT UP.

Came to this podcast after hearing about chris’ death on This American Life. Wish I had‘ve known about it years ago. Have devoured 5 episodes in 2 days and am so grateful to have found you before a big road trip. Keep it up. ?♥️
Great show
February 7, 2019 by bood5432 from United States
What a great show. I have never taken an illegal drug in my life. Not even weed. However, I recently lost a favorite nephew to a drug overdose. This podcast is helping me to understand a little more about him. Thank you.

I just started listening but wish I found sooner. I know it's been a tough few months but hang in there. Hearing stories and perspective means a lot to many I'm sure

Spontaneous, natural and entertaining - I could (and do) listen endlessly!
Can’t stop listening
February 6, 2019 by Marmar827 from United States
Heard about this podcast on the latest episode of This American Life. Was hesitant to start listening due to the anticipated heart break but so glad I did. Incredibly genuine, raw and emotional. Thank you for sharing these stories.
Dave and Chris

Even listening to their takeout orders interrupt the podcast is great. Greatest podcast of all time.
Thank you!
February 5, 2019 by Dvs0812 from United States
I am an addict in recovery, 18 months clean next week, and I just found your podcast after hearing about it on “This American life.” It’s great, I can really relate, it reminds me of conversations I always had with a couple of friends who I have lost in the past so thank you for that! Your show isn’t like anything I have heard before, that is great for both addicts and non addicts! I have recommended it to a few people who also really enjoy it! Thanks again, David from Rhode Island
Newbie but love it
February 5, 2019 by duder33 from United States
I’m a newbie but obsessed with this since learning about it on TAL. It’s just so much more than a recovery or comedy podcast.. it’s he’s to put into words you just have to listen to get it.
Entertaining
February 4, 2019 by hughman2019 from United States
This podcast is super funny, super relevant, and super rewarding. As of this review, I am less than 10 episodes deep but as an addict, in recovery, I am always looking for new metaphoric drugs - this fills a huge void. Keep up the good work guys - I will keep coming back. R.I.P Chris

Funny. Honest. Rare.
January 31, 2019 by bonbug31271 from United States
I found this podcast a few months ago. I’ve been binging since. It’s a mix of drug stories and recovery. I’ve gone back and forth between Dave solo and Dave and Chris before Chris tragic death. I’m not an addict but have had too many in my life. The stories and interviews are funny, honest and this is a rare find. keep it up Dave. Stay Strong Dopey Nation. #tootles
Brilliant - Best Recovery Podcast
January 20, 2019 by Hip Unicorn from United States
Keep up the great work Dave, really enjoyed this week's episode with Ashley Hamilton. He has such warm enthusiasm, you guys were great together. Nice job on that podcast research, I was impressed. Hi to ALAN! I'm listening to Ep. 108, need a Chris fix. I used to listen to Home all the time but they quit and I couldn't find a podcast that was as edgy and vibrant. Finally. I like how you have a loose structure. Toooodles! Stay Strong Dopey Nation!
Still love this podcast even without Chris!
January 19, 2019 by mrs. dough from United States
Dave keep up the great work and stop reading the bad reviews! Your so funny don’t be so hard on yourself! LOL ( sorry) tootles ! And I really liked this this weeks podcast with Ashley good format this an interview then voice mail email and you !
Relevant, Real and Rediculous
January 19, 2019 by Scotty.n0 from United States
I am hooked on Dopey. Listen to this podcast. Don’t you want to learn the latest drug slang? Where do you stand on recovery philosophy? Are prescribed drugs relapse? What is a ”plug”? Does pot count?
Love this podcast

Such a good podcast to listen to anywhere, love the stories included.
Greatest Drug/Recovery Podcast
January 14, 2019 by TheRealNateFrogg from United States
I love this podcast. I’m purely writing this because I know it helps with ranking and increasing their audience and I have that much respect for Dave & Chris(RIP). Not some scientist with a monologue voice, not boring facts. This is a fun, good ole war stories from the “good” years mixed with a personable outlook on recovery, a look at how good life can be sober, and a reflective introspection on our past, dark years. This is a podcast like no others, Dave goes out of his way to spin recovery in a fun, humorous light and that’s a much needed perspective in this community and above all else, it’s relatable. Dave if you read this, I’ll donate to y’alls podcast and buy a few shirts along with (if you want) I can help market the podcast thru social media platforms. Shoot me an email and we can talk Dave
Love listening to the Podcast
January 8, 2019 by Andea13 from Canada
Love the Podcast. Keep up the great work Dave. I know you miss Chris but your doing it!!!!!!
One of the first and only podcasts I listen to
January 7, 2019 by kryanxo from United States
This show has replaced radio for me. Which is crazy being a huge music fan. But I’m currently 10 months clean and find so much comfort and humor in Dave and all that’s he’s done to keep the podcast going after Chris’s tragic death. He’s watching over all of us probably proud as ever. Love this podcast and recommend it to everyone I talk to in the program! Toodles✌?
Dopey’s GREAT!
January 3, 2019 by numbnuts from United States
Dave is a cool, old school NYC Jew-unfortunately a rapidly dying breed. He’s been through the addiction ringer, yet maintains a great sense of humor-like most of us survivors. I think it’s the only way we get through this upside down world. Keep up the good work Dave...you’re helping many of us.
Exceptional podcast
December 31, 2018 by Xxxxxxxxooooooooo from United States
I started listening to this podcast before Chris died and am addicted to it. As someone who mildly afflicted, I appreciate the war stories as well as the hope that Dave represents. Losing Chris was a shock and hurts us all but Dave is really interesting and resilient in his quest to prove that sobriety is the best way to live. I highly recommend this podcast. Thanks Tom
Love you too, Dave
December 31, 2018 by onlyblackdope from United States
Dave and Chris really feel like friends I’ve known for so long. They've become a major part of my recovery. Loosing Chris was very painful being he helped me get sober. Dave you are like a brother and I’m glad to have you in my network and thank you for what you are doing. I love you and I love dopey. Hope we can actually get closer as you continue to be a major part of my life with this wonderful podcast. My favorite podcasts‼️‼️‼️
Dopey Podcast
December 27, 2018 by belllau1 from United States
Dave, The Dopey Podcast has been keeping me company for the last two-ish weeks. I’m an un-afflicted mother of a 24 year old heroin/any drug he can find addict. My niece told me about the podcast and I’ve been hooked since the first listen. My son is 90 days clean after years of drug abuse, countless troubles with the law, and an overall miserable existence for all who love him...to say I’m thrilled is the biggest understatement there is. I listened to the episodes around Chris’s tragic death first and found I had to start from the beginning. You both have taught me so much, given me more laughs than I ever expected, and given me hope in spite of the heartbreaking loss of Chris and Todd. Keep strong Dave and keep doing what you were born to do, you have a gift...both of you did. I know how sad and angry you must be without Chris, however, this podcast has made a huge difference in the lives of so many. Stay strong Dopey Nation and TOODLES!!! ❤️
Wait your turn
December 22, 2018 by carriemarie13 from United States
I love this pod cast... but Dave needs to calm down and let his guests finish at least half a story without interrupting and taking it down 7 different roads. The guest loses their chain of thought and the story doesn’t make sense anymore. Let the message happen man or just have it be you. It reminds me of 3 am coke nights with the fast interrupting crazy talk
AWESOME!!!!
December 19, 2018 by Joeypepper77 from United States
If you love edm, vaping, flesh and bone, avicci, flavored seltzer, and lil yachty, you will love this podcast RIP Chris. Please no more literary episodes Dave!
A blessing in disguise
December 10, 2018 by taz4208 from United States
Hands down the best podcast, Dave is an amazing person, he lost 2 of his closest friends and still he continues to do DOPEY. Thanks bro hearing you and when Chris was around helped me out tremendously to stay sober
Stay Strong like Dopey
December 8, 2018 by T.Hens from United States
Simply the pinnacle of recovery podcasts. Dave keeps a comedic, honest, and less overbearing path to sharing stories that is so very refreshing. If you’re sober, using, or just non addicted you’ll find something to enjoy. Keep up the good work!
ADDICTING AS THE DRUG STORIES ETC THEY DISCUSS ON THE SHOW! ??
December 6, 2018 by Zmj5288 from United States
I have been a recovering Opiate addict since 07’ and have been high listening to this show and sober! A listener since the beginning (pretty much) AWESOME stories about past drug use and recovery! Always excited when a new episode is available. Long love Doppy Nation. Toddles ( Only For Chris R.I.P You will understand once you listen) -ZMJ Las Vegas
Keeping addicts company
December 1, 2018 by Kal_88 from United States
I’ve been listening for a year now and this podcast has had its ups and downs but it is on the rise now. Recently one of the hosts passed away and lost his battle with his demons but Dave has kept the show going and growing. Tune in for drug stories and the hope of recovery.
Nice
November 17, 2018 by Duck586 from United States
Dave did a perfectly balanced episode and though a little sad had a beautiful song at the end
Outstanding podcast
November 6, 2018 by basquiat34 from United States
Always good, always funny, always entertaining. Easily relate to the host David.
Thank you
November 6, 2018 by jimmy from the bay from United States
Dave - I found Dopey after listening to dr drew and bob’s podcast. I became a fan of Dopey after the Artie interview, being a stern fan since 2008 (I’m 30). I now cannot not listen after Chris passed away and have listened to dozens and dozens of episodes in the past week or so. I struggle. Your show is helping me help myself. I’m doing much better and if there weren’t people like you and bob and drew, I would be having a much harder time staying abstinent. With heroes like Keith Richards and Junkie artists and authors etc, I wanted to live like them. I now want to live like the artists and creatives who’ve made it through addiction. I relate to that more and it’s a blessing. You create a space and platform for these people to share. Thank you for continuing this Dave. Dave, thank you and keep doing what you do. Jimmy

It's a podcast about people who use to use drugs. It’s a community that goes through stuff I can’t say enough good things. It has a special place in my heart and will in yours.
The realest most best podcast ever
October 30, 2018 by TrippyFella from United States
Just started listening to “dopey” I’m on episode 30 and I can not believe how entertaining it is! Honestly this is the first podcast I have ever listened to and I found it by google searching funny drug stories and it was rite. This podcast is so funny if you wanna hear funny stories about drugs. But not only does it have funny stories but it has true stories about drug abuse and rehabilitation that will tug at your heart strings. I hated podcast until I found thins. Greatest podcast ever! Stay strong dopey nation
Love this podcast!
October 29, 2018 by KelleyWills from United States
Dave is a hilarious host with a big heart. He takes on recovery from a personal perspective that is rarely seen or heard in the media. Anyone that has experience with addiction and/or recovery (be it personal or through friends and family) will relate to the crazy shameless stories that Dave and his friends recount. The path to recovery isn't always pretty but it's important that these stories be shared so others who are dealing with the similar situations can get the courage to reach out. Dopey is a valuable resource and an excellent reminder to stay strong!
Great Podcast
October 27, 2018 by Akron's finest from United States
Easy to give the show 5 Stars. Tragic, hilarious, helpful all in one. Dave is doing an amazing job keeping the much needed show going, in spite of Chris’s tragic death. I suggest starting at the beginning and listening to all of the episodes, but you can start from the latest episode and still be entertained. The show is a combination of stories of addiction, stories of recovery and Dave hilariously hating on someone or something. The show tells stories that addicts and recovering addicts can uniquely relate to.

October 10, 2018 by Luba Y from United States
I’ve been listening to Dopey for a couple of years now and Chris’s death was a lot harder on me than a “stranger’s” death normally is on someone. But Dave is doing an amazing job with the show. I’m not afflicted but Dopey is so good that even someone who is not afflicted can relate to all of the themes of the show such as emotional struggles, numbing emotional pain, dealing with pain through humor, etc. Great job Dave and keep it going! Dopey nation loves you!!
Obsessed with this podcast!
October 7, 2018 by Chelsea_Nicole_7 from United States
I recently stumbled across Dopey and haven’t been able to stop listening. I love hearing their stories and the dynamic between the two hosts. Dopey is fantastic and so are Dave and Chris!
Words won’t work.
October 6, 2018 by savageassjosh from United States
So when my lady showed me this podcast a while ago, I instantly got attached. Something about the chemistry that Chris and Dave had, just got me. This podcast got me in a way that I can’t explain. Words won’t work. It gives me a sense of comfort and also keeps me on my toes with humility and fear of my addiction. Again, words won’t work. Thank you to the whole Dopey team! -Josh
Love this!
October 2, 2018 by ElaineDaPain from United States
I love that we can finally laugh again, now that we are in recovery. I love laughing at my crazy self and crazy dope stories! It’s my favorite part of working a program; RULE #62! Thank you, for being a part of my recovery!

September 28, 2018 by Writer/Teacher/MOM! from United States
I can’t begin to thank you and Chris (May he Rest In Peace) for making this podcast. I tried listening about a year ago and couldn’t do it b/c of the triggers. It wasn’t until I heard Dave’s interview by one of my faves, Omar Pinto, after Chris’s passing. I cried and cried listening to it and started my journey back listening to Dopey from the beginning. It took me a while to catch up and I was scared to listen to the episodes after Chris. You guys were amazing. I had a lot more sobriety under my belt and could handle the crazy stories and even relate to a few. You even helped me get help for a couple more addictions and gave me confidence and hope for a better life. Dave, thank you for keeping this going. I can’t imagine what it must feel like to lose a friend like Chris. I’m learning how special recovery friends are and he seemed like pure gold. Keep being you and living life sober! You inspire so many people and set an amazing example for the next generation, believe it or not. Much Love and Support! ✌?
Addictive Listening: Raw and from the heart
September 24, 2018 by Dunny3367 from Australia
If you have an addictive nature or not you can’t help but become hooked on Dopey. Nothing fake to the show, telling it how it is. Tough times shared by good people caught up in a vicious epidemic, showing there is hope out there. This pod cast is truly a service for all in need dealing with addiction, those on the other side trying to “Stay Strong” and the rest to understand what our brothers and sisters are going through. Last episode with Dave’s better half was amazing. Her truth in her words could be felt and the picture painted was vivid (I'm not just talking about choice of documentaries she chooses to watch... ) hope to hear more! (Co-Host in training) Toddles for Chris, R.I.P.

Love your show
September 20, 2018 by Incredible and easy from United States
I wanted to let you know how powerful and meaningful this show has become. I am an addiction counselor in Colorado and I have shared the podcast with colleagues and clients alike. I am so so sorry about Chris. The shows posted about his tragic loss have been so important to me and hearing you, Dave, on your show, Dr. Drew’s and most recently on Omar’s show... I can absolutely feel your pain and I am in awe on your resilience and commitment to your recovery. You are so eloquent and you paint a vivid picture of a true, deep and meaningful friendship. You are very much meant to be a talk show host, you have the gift. Please know how grateful I am for this show, your open candidness in sharing Chris’s story and walking us all so beautifully through your own experience with it. This show makes a true difference and I know his death will not be in vain. It will touch so many people and help lift others into the frequency of recovery. My sincerest condolences to everyone affected by this. Stay strong Dopey Nation, tootles ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love this podcast!
September 19, 2018 by irvbrown from United States
Dave! Way to hold it down! And feel free to interrupt even the most famous of guests, it’s your “stick” and it works! This show is a BIG part of my recovery, keep it coming. Chris is an idiot and I hate him for being gone but there is literally a bright spot on my soul where he has left his mark. Stay strong and Toodles!!
Soooo funny

Addicted to & Afflicted with Addicts
September 15, 2018 by Donner316 from United States
Hi Dave - I’ve been listening to your podcasts since about the time of Chris’s tragic and unnecessary death. My sincerest, tardy condolences. I’m a daughter of, mother to and spouse of alcoholic / addicts. I have fortunately not been afflicted by drugs & alcohol (can’t hardly catch a buzz even when I want too). Your podcasts help me so very much. I don’t understand my loved ones much of the time (yes, I have 6+ years al anon) but I know that my best next decision is to get out of their way and to not provide them with a soft landing. But what mom doesn’t want to feed her sons and clean up their messes? Ugh. Anywho - I have only listed to 15 or so podcasts so just learning to love more addicts and wanting to help your callers, emailers and guest. But I won’t ?. I enjoy parts of, if not all of the postcards. My spouse cannot understand why I’m enjoying the pods. It’s comforting and provides so much hope to me .... If you ever want to hear Dopey stories from the other side of the story - let me know and I’ll share some of my favorites. Stay strong and be kind to yourselves. Know that you are all loved fiercely by someone who is addicted to addicts ❤️ Thank you and all those who help with the podcasts!! Keep ‘em coming.
Amazing!!
September 15, 2018 by sethinct from United States
Dave!!! Excellent job keeping Dopey going! It’s not the same, and will never be, however you have been killing it recently! The Steven Adler interview was FANTASTIC!! Keep up the great work!!!!!!!!!
Can’t say enough great things about dopey.
September 9, 2018 by JoachGofy from United States
I’ve been listening to this podcast for a while, and it never gets old. It’s a piece of my week that I always look forward to. When I hear “If I’m Not Home” start playing in the beginning, it’s a euphoric comfort that I wish I could put in a jar and keep with me all of the time. I can’t imagine the heartache Chris’ friends and family are going through, but I’m glad Dave is still trekking on. This podcast means a lot to me. I know it’s helped people all over the world, and I’m glad to hear Dave’s voice when things in life get rough. I love Dopey, I hope more people that need support in recovery or finding recovery can hear Dopey. Stay strong Dopey Nation, and toodles.
Keep it up
September 8, 2018 by HVACextraordinaire from United States
When I got together with my chick, she disclosed that she struggles with an addiction to pills, but was on suboxone. I've been a daily stoner with a handful of forays into coke, lsd, mushrooms, and peyote, but don't consider myself afflicted. I initially began researching addiction, just to understand how to be a supportive, and understanding partner without being enabling or codependent. This podcast has helped me understand addiction more than any other resource I have come across, and has definitely made me far more compassionate towards people struggling to survive. Not to mention it's one of the funniest things I have heard in years. With the passing of Chris, Dave seems to be struggling to find his groove, but so did Pink Floyd when Syd left. Keep at it Dave, this podcast will save lives.
GREAT PODCAST!
September 8, 2018 by Janie Hutto from United States
I've listened to this podcast for a while now. I grew up in a household with a parent that had an alcohol addiction and listening to this lifted the curtain to the other side. I hadn't listened in a while and just happened to pick up on the episode with Amber, when I found out about Chris. I am so saddened to hear about his death, but I am thankful that the show is carrying on. You help so many people!

A Riveting Podcast !
September 5, 2018 by hiuugu jong from United States
Found podcast just browsing and started listening from beginning- it’s hard to explain the attraction of this show, but It has kept me riveted (and laughing) even when it has been annoying. Losing one of the hosts, Chris, to a recent overdose has made this a different show (I’m giving it a chance, though Chris was the main attraction for me) the older shows are definitely worth listening to. RIP Chris- your story is still helping others, and this podcast only highlights how much we lost with your passing.

I love the podcast, if you get it, you really get it!!! You will not find anything else that compares to this. I still haven’t caught up to the latest show, I'm on #63. I wanted to hear everything leading up to the current show and get to know Dave and Chris. I know it's helping me understand affliction in its various forms. I get the stories and how these types of “ dopey situations” happen. Keep it up Dave, We Love You!!!
You’re doing great

Excellent use of your listening skills
August 15, 2018 by CJ Burger from United States
For the last 6 months I have been listening to this stupid podcast. It's been awesome having it around as I do not participate in AA/NA and enjoy finding the humor in my f*ck ups. This show is not only hilarious and irritating(eating next to the microphone, vaping and totally off subject banter) its the perfect way to relive your glory days while stay in your recovered world. The show progresses into a mixture of tales from the crypt to the daily antics of the hosts. By the time you find your way to the middle of these podcasts you will be less bewildered by the lack of professionalism. In fact you'll find yourself looking forward to each new episode and in a round about way you’ll join in the dopey nation..even if your not clean and you just listen.
Condolences
August 11, 2018 by Pegilicious from United States
Dave, I listen to several of your podcasts. I am not an addict in any way. I do listen all the time to Dr. Drew which is where I heard about Chris and your podcast. I was very sad to hear about Chris. I am sad for you and the whole Dopey community. I hope you will continue to do what you do. You are making an impact to those who need it. Also it may be cathartic for you to do the podcast. Awesome that Dr. Drew and Bob Forrest call into your show. Be good to yourself and remember Dr. Drew’s advice.
AWESOME!!!!

Real as it gets
August 10, 2018 by NannyHead from United States
During a bender, I would listen at work last month(I would sneak off and do drugs at work) (and also drink alcohol before church), got caught up from the beginning between new episodes after Artie Lange. After the scatterbrained dopey, I managed to clean myself up (With the help of loperamide). Tuned in a couple weeks after to two episodes about Chris passing. Really brought a reality to this podcast. It was truly the most bizarre podcast experience I have encountered. I was in rough shape, and my last review did not make much sense. Now with a clear head it is very strange to go back in the shows and pick up on the warning signs from Chris , especially when the reviews were being read and he quickly moved on past the one concerned about the sound of his voice. Dave thank you for continuing Dopey and carrying the torch through such a tough time. I believe you will be the salt of dopey and carry a legacy that will be enjoyed by many. Like seriously this podcast is as real as it gets. Tudes
Great podcast!

The best of both worlds
August 7, 2018 by _colleen_marie from United States
Hands down one of my favorite podcasts. I love that Chris and Dave are able to have the perfect mix of war stories and crazy and then somehow turn it back into recovery and how awesome that is as well. Some days I want to listen for the insanity and end up hearing an amazing tidbit of recovery, and some days I want to listen for the recovery and find myself laughing hysterically at the debauchery. No other podcast keeps me engaged the way this one does, I can listen for hours! Also, the love and support that Dopey Nation has for one another is just another amazing aspect and truly shows how this isn’t just another podcast, it’s changing peoples lives for the better. Thank you for sharing your lives with us and Chris’s wisdom will continue to live on in these episodes.?

Genuine Reality
July 31, 2018 by SHansm12 from United States
As a normie, I relate 0% to the war stories, but I'm still sucked in because at the end of the day, it's all about the mistakes and missteps of the human experience and hearing their raw, authentic take on it all has been so enlightening. I'm devastated over the loss of Chris and hope he knew how much he was helping get the messages and hope of recovery out. Stay strong, Dave ❤️
Heartbroken
July 30, 2018 by Darthsweeney7 from United States
Feel as if I’ve lost one of my best friends. I don’t know if the show can go on without Chris. Stay strong Dave. Know the Dopey nation loves you and hopes you push on. Horrible horrible tragedy. Rip Chris. Toodles
Fan from the start
July 30, 2018 by almost pollyanna from United States
Dear Dave, I can’t express in words how much you mean to me - I know that you don’t know me but you are inspiring and generous and I am so sorry for your loss of Chris. It’s unbelievable what happened and I have to say thank you to you and to Annie for your courage and your generosity -in sharing the terrible truth with all of us. Dopey has become a beacon of hope for me and for many other people. You and Chris show true friendship and your joy is palpable. Please please continue the show- it is making a difference. Much love to you and to Annie and to everyone in the Dopey nation.
Amazing.
July 30, 2018 by chandler1130 from United States
Dave and Chris are incredible to listen to and the podcast is endlessly interesting. Amazing.
Best Podcast Around
July 29, 2018 by Jfbills from United States
This podcast has been a source of inspiration and entertainment since I started listening. Love you Dave. RIP Chris
Good hang out
July 28, 2018 by smack lab from United States
It’s fun to hang out with you guys through a digital medium. Chris burp on!! Dave keep writing dope songs. Both of you keep on keeping on with the killer podcast.??
Thriving
July 26, 2018 by TIC TAC CAL from United States
Dopey examines the healing process, by getting deep into the WHY’s and HOW’s of addiction. If you are interested in observing the recovery process intertwined with humor this is the podcast for you! Easy to follow, these thoughtful and profound explorations into the voices of addiction recovery are an essential listen. Offering a very realistic and empathetic look into addiction. It essential for people to understand the daily struggle of addiction. It's beautiful to see two men that went deep into the world of addiction and now not only live but thrive and still keep their humor. This was written before chris died from a overdose. A reminder that this is a terminal illness.
RIP Chris, stay strong dopey nation
July 26, 2018 by Bailey_ferg25 from United States
I am heartbroken about Chris’ passing. He was truly a special soul who offered so much and really reached out to me. He showed me that addiction can afflict pain on anyone, even the rich, smart, future doctor. Addiction is no joke, but Chris and Dave kept it light hearted and hilarious. Truly anyone remotely interested in the life of a drug addict will love Dopey for the crazy stories and hilarious banter. Again, we miss you Chris and hope that everyone can see the true danger of addiction. Stay strong Dave. Stay strong dopey nation.
Entertaining, sobering, intoxicating and ultimately tragic
July 25, 2018 by Yayauauauayayya from Canada
RIP Chris - thank you for the laughs, insight and advice. It means more than you know to so many people. Dave - please continue the podcast for addicts by addicts. Stay strong bro.
Amazing
July 25, 2018 by Drewski of the Dopey Nation from United States
This has been my favorite podcast since I started listening at episode 15. Dave has been a real great influence in my life after I met him through a job almost 5 years ago. After a few recent tragedies that have hit the dopey nation very hard, I want to make sure that no matter what happens from here on out, that this is amazing content that can help anyone in life, even for those who are in the midst of addiction, have had a past, or it has never been a part of their life. Two great people wanting nothing but the best for others. We could all use some positivity to counteract the tragedy that comes with being a part of this crazy world; what better way to bring the positivity, than comedy and looking at the absurdity of life and the time that we spend on this big blue marble. Stay strong dopey nation, and out of respect for a great human being, “toooodles”.
Grabber Hand Warmers
July 19, 2018 by XXkramerXX from United States
Whenever I need to pass a UA, I only trust Grabber brand hand warmers to keep my piss warm. Other brand hand warmers fail when you need them the most, but Grabbers come fully equipped with space aged micro atoms that keeps everything warmer for 5 hours longer than the leading brand. When you need to pass a UA, grab some Grabbers today.
Heard them all
July 19, 2018 by Davidhateusernameisusedf**** from Canada
I don't use itunes but had nothing to do for once so wanted to write a review. Best podcast out there. Been listening for over a year now. I get great joy from the 2 of you talking about your drug stories and just day to day life. I'm a bit younger then Chris but find it very funny on how many things he's never heard. Hope his history can help others by having the understanding of what drugs can do. Dave is one of the funniest mother fers I have listened to in my life. I love the no PC take on life and just calling it like it is. Also to that Canadian who's email you guys read. I don't take any offence to you comments about Canada. Stay Strong Dopey Nation from Victoria, British Columbia Canada. Better go before my igloo melts from all the heated created by my computer. Toodles EH!
Saved my F**kn life before I even bothered to
July 19, 2018 by Carrierbird from United States
Chris & Dave are doing the hard work for us. This podcast needs to be made available to smart & smarmy kids alike. No one can save anybody else but these guys can help us laugh at ourselves and help educate and humiliate each other, which is, in fact, the only way to save ourselves. PS: I’ll kill anybody who gives less than a 5-Star review. I’m a postman, so I’ve got it in me. Don’t tempt this addict!
The greatest podcast
July 18, 2018 by byan smethers from United States
You two are completely amazing! Thank you so much for the podcasts and the humor you bring to a world I know to well. I’m an addict as well and it’s refreshing what you guys are doing. I’d love to do a voicemail for the show, I have so much in common with Todd that listening to you guys talk about him when he passed made me feel as if I’ve known Todd my whole life. I am Bryan but also Todd. If that makes sense. I thank you guys so much. Dave and chris thank you!!

July 17, 2018 by Wesleywhite77 from United States
The guys do a good show! The content is great. The guys need to stay close to the microphones or get better mics. Usually one is very loud and the other is just the opposite. It just is crazy when I turn up to listen to one comment and when the other person speaks it so loud I almost wreck the truck. Anyway I think it’s a great show.
Dopey Is Top Dog!
July 16, 2018 by M.C. Confuz from United States
You guys are back on top, getting along, pumpin out great radio. Only thing that concerns me this week is the voice of Chris.
because you keep asking
July 14, 2018 by Sillygoose97 from United States
this show is great. what they need to do is keep it going. make them longer dude. just let the stories go because they are awesome
Finally Artie !!!
July 9, 2018 by big teazy from Canada
Best episode to date.. killer episode with Artie Lange .. the best podcast about drugs and addiction... keep coming with the great guests.
THEY GOT ARTIE
July 8, 2018 by Stagpipes from United States
The show’s value has never been more evident than listening to the Artie Lange episode. Don’t think there’s an interview where Artie is more candid (or comfortable) reflecting on his ongoing struggle with addiction. While the show has never been overly preachy re: 12-step stuff, this episode reveals the best part of meetings - those “Me too” moments that evoke feelings of connection and community, and are so important in our individual recoveries. So stoked to see how this podcast has evolved, and grateful to be along for the ride.
Artie Lange!
July 8, 2018 by ginobili'sshnawze from United States
Yo! Just finished the Artie episode! So great you finally got him on. The show was great, Dave you stayed persistent and made it happen and I think Chris averaged fifty “Yeahs” per minute lol.
best podcast in the world
July 1, 2018 by Erinkleinschmidt007 from United States
This podcast is perfect for addicts, normies, and SMI ridden individuals of all variety. They are hilarious, down to earth, and bring into their show a variety of their friends in all stages of recovery. Chris and Dave, along with their guests, invite you into lives and catching up with them will quickly become the highlight of your day. I have been listening for about a month and a half and have listened to episodes 1-110 and the tribute to Todd (Dave I’m so so sorry for your loss) and I will be tuned in to every episode made. (PS- Chris and Dave! I just got to the episode where you discuss the internship contest! If the position isn’t filled, I would love you be considered. I will start my week of emailing just in case and to give a more detailed email. I didn’t want to contact you guys until I finished all the episodes (I dunno why I’m just neurotic like that) and were up to date but I can’t wait! I’m excited to hopefully be in contact with you guys. I adore you both and your podcast)

Great Stories from Great Storytellers
June 25, 2018 by DLFORTYTWO from Canada
My wife got me hooked to this podcast about a couple of months ago and it has made the countless hours stuck in traffic, not only bareable, but actually enjoyable. Neither myself, nor my wife, are afflicted, but we both understand the appeal of not having to deal with life in general. Both Dave and Chris are incredibly relatable, and their chemistry and banter is amazing, great shtick too :). These guys expose the real lives of a segment of society most of us never encounter, not in any great detail anyways. The stories are hillarious, terrifying, and unreal, but hope, humanity, and compassion are never too far off. I'm currently on episode 82 and was going to leave a review once I caught up, but I couldn't hold off any longer. Looking forward to the next 80 episodes :) Thank you both!
So so needed
June 25, 2018 by Swineclass from United States
The struggle between being a ‘bad influence’ etc. vs. being yet another typically sanctimonious ‘recovery’ podcast is really validating and perfectly illustrates the Soul of Addiction Herself. I only just discovered this and love it. I now return to my binge.
Sorry about Todd
June 24, 2018 by Big Ben Va. from United States
Hey guys sorry to hear about Todd!!! Addiction is a mean disease,I my self have lost many of my friends to it. It is so sad that it comes to this. I’m 2 yrs free of pills I’m 5 yrs drink free. Ive listen to this show from the beginning y’all are doing great work I plan on sending a voice memo but Sw Virginia draw is pretty long so just bear with me. Keep up the good work and stay strong Tootles!!! Thanks Big Ben
Persistence is key
June 24, 2018 by brockasaur from United States
What you guys are doing is genius and a great alternative to meetings, although those are good as well. Keep on building the Dopey Nation and it will absolutely be something big. I have been listening to y’all from the beginning and in that period of time I lost my brother to a self-inflicted gun shot wound and then I went through extreme benzo withdrawals (Research chemical clonazolam and prescribed Klolopin. When I first started listening to you two, it was more out of curiosity. I never would have thought I was serendipitously learning the road map for what I was about to go through. I also wanted to address the potentially underrated Episode with Harris Wittles. If you have not heard it yet, my favorite two podcast episodes of all time are the two he did with Pete Holmes. It is a very remarkable glimpse into his life and mind, as well as an accurate report on the heroin crisis. Thank you for your help from me and all the other loyal listeners. Love y’all, God Bless and Toodles! P.S. Do you have a confirmed spelling for toodles? -Brock
Favorite podcast.. only podcast I listen to actually.

Hands down the best podcast out there related or pertaining to addiction. Listened to a lot of them and Dave and Chris takes the cake by a landslide . Keep up the banter fellas !
Really Good
June 9, 2018 by PhillipSMI from United States
I tried writing a much more extensive review about a month ago, but for some reason (either iTunes hates me, or I’m electronically illiterate. Probably the latter) it didn’t get uploaded. So here’s my shortened second attempt. This is an awesome podcast. Dave and Chris are thoroughly entertaining. Their chemistry is so good. I come away from every episode with a smile. If you’re interested in drugs and/or recovery and everything that revolves around the two, you won’t be disappointed. I wasn’t.
Dopey for Dave
June 9, 2018 by AugustaGracs from United States
I love the show, and I love the banter between Chris and Dave. I enjoy that the show isn’t over produced or too linear. It would lose its authenticity otherwise. I listen to the podcast every morning on my way to the methadone clinic. I haven’t used a needle in over six months. I am eager to taper and move on with my life though. Thanks for keeping me company on my 45 minute commute, keep doing what you do. -Augusta Grace

June 8, 2018 by activiststyle from Canada
Hey guys. I have been listening for a short while- I actually was looking for Artie Lange related anything and I found you somehow! I'm a huge Stern show listener, particularly the Artie years. I caught on right away for a few reasons- I am a food addict, in recovery and working the steps so I relate to a lot of the obsessive behaviours. Combine that w being a lover of all things addiction: like black tar heroin doc, intervention.. I am fascinated with war stories. But I also love the balance of recovery talk too. How life can be better sober and why and how. I listen to every word, the banter, the self-depreciation. It all works. You have something really special going on here. It's real, and honest and funny and I plan to spread the word that this is a podcast with so much to offer. Thanks guys stay strong dopey nation.
Perfect

June 4, 2018 by Kdiizy from United States
Love the show! I’ve listened to every episode from the beginning. Not much an addict myself, but my significant other, and father of my daughter had a heroin addiction the first year of our daughters life, that he thankfully overcame. This show has really helped me through the hard times, and made me laugh at the same time! After hearing the reference of one of my favorite Simpsons episodes, that I quote all the time myself I just had to write a review! I love you both equally, and the banter between you guys is what makes the show! Keep up the great work! Toodles! ( I got my daughter saying toodles, too btw! )
Great show!!!!

Mega podcast
May 21, 2018 by A cee u next tuesday guy from United Kingdom
I listen to this podcast daily while getting on with my job, I'd consider myself a normie but have dabbled in all the party stuff and have a few daft stories so I can appreaciate the stories which these 2 guys talk about, but it's not just about the stories the banter and general chemistry between these 2 guys makes what ever they're talking about interesting and funny and are creating a communinty to help people in recovery and be an beacon to people to show that there can be a life on the other side of addiction.
Some love
May 20, 2018 by Boomers are here from United States
Love the podcast! Favorite part is the honest truth about your lives you share. Keep up the great work your doing!
Thank you, Dave & Chris

You guys are doing a tremendous service for people that would typically roll their eyes at some of the other sobriety podcasts out there. I can't put into words how much you've helped with my recovery. I'll reach out via email soon, but just wanted to drop a review and thank you in the meantime. Stay strong, Dopey Nation. And TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODLES.
Awesome show
May 13, 2018 by BrandyFreeman from United States
I love this show! It’s raw, honest, and hilarious.
Not an addict, but love the content
May 11, 2018 by Peeshloo from Canada
I have never been addicted to drugs but this is a great listen stories are hilarious and you learn more about people’s struggles in their lives. I love how the message of sobriety is prominent throughout the show. It’s kind of a scrappy podcast that needs more refinement but still worth 5 stars. Keep up the good work.
Love me some Dopey
May 11, 2018 by Closet drunk from United States
Chis and Dave are amazing! I have a healthy mix of recovery podcasts. In the beginning of my recovery, I listened mostly to the SHAIR podcast. This is where I was introduced to the Dopey podcast. Dopey is now my favorite podcast. You guys do a great job. I even love all the glitches you guys experience (with the sound, which is much better). It makes it that much more authentic. I also like hearing about Todd. I’m cheering you on Todd...you got this! Keep up the great work and thank you for your service. Toodles

May 5, 2018 by D$haw from United States
Just discovered this show this past week at work after typing in heroin on the search bar of the Apple podcast homepage on my iPhone ??... got about six months clean now and this show has brought much joy to me the past couple days and I plan on continuing listening! I was addicted to Heroin, cocaine and everything in between down here in Central Florida and I can absolutely relate to every crazy hooker, dealer, stealer, shooter, rehab story that’s out there! Love you guys and keep up the good work and continued Sobriety!
Best guest ever.
May 5, 2018 by krystals. from United States
I’m not a fan of some of some of your guests. I feel like Chris and Dave often time just aren’t vibing with them as well as they do when they told their stories in the beginning episodes. Jessa changes this. Her story was wild, and Chris and Dave seemed super excited by the amount of dopey. You definitely need more guests like her on the podcast. Still love your show and listen every week... tootles, I guess.
Brilliant funny Cool Podcast
May 4, 2018 by tommy2bagz from United States
Dear Dave & Chris, Your show is so good. It helps to have a safe outlet for telling old drug fueled adventure tales, because it can be dangerous telling old stories as a clean and sober person. A) because other sober meeting people don’t want to hear them and B) cause if your swapping old tales to someone who still uses, it can be tempting to hear them with no resolve, and the next thing you know... you can relapse. But your show really does acknowledge why our old ways got us in trouble and ruined our lives. And you do give advice to get better (while also making fun of it all) I appreciate your guys humor because i grew up on similar situations. You 2 remind me of me and my friend recalling our weekend back when. Not to compare Dopey to Seinfeld, but kinda like if George and Jerry were Addicts, and Kramer also. I think you get the point. I am gonna leave a voice mail of my stories. Love to meet you guys some day. -Tommy from Long Island PS. Maybe i should have emailed this?
A whimsical take on the foibles and follies of addiction.

This has become my favorite non-murder podcast. I thoroughly enjoy the lively banter between Dave and Chris, their guests and the stories. Keep 'em coming, guys!
These guys are great
May 2, 2018 by Rounzie from United States
Hey I'm a psychologist specializing in addiction treatment and I absolutely love this podcast. These guys are a glorious messy exploration of addiction and recovery. They practice radical acceptance and honesty about all aspects of problems with substances. To me they thread the needle of talking about all the craziness that goes along with addiction without glorifying it or condemning the people still stuck using. Highly recommended to anyone trying to stop using and all professionals to get some perspective of recovery from the the other side.
GREAT WORK!!!

Dopey= what treatment groups should model themselves after
April 23, 2018 by Kubo42 from United States
I love the way that the show shoots from the hip and does so many things without fear. No fear of judgment, or fear of offending somebody. It's just what we addicts and our people need to be exposed to in order to help us all progress in terms of understanding addiction and how to deal with it. It's pretty great that you guys are making such an impact and reaching so many while having fun ripping on each other just like friends do. I'm impressed and wish I had something like dopey to occupy my time/mind/effort! Anyway, keep it up fellas. Stay Strong DOPEY NATION from Colorado!

Chris and Dave are hilarious and irreverent, bringing just the right touch for recovery in the digital age.

Stay strong and TOODLES!

Dave and Chris represent this sort of love/hate relationship just like the one a lot of their listeners have with drugs.
Great podcast for those afflicted
April 4, 2018 by Maddragon12323 from United Kingdom
I love the "war stories" they really entertain me, Dave and chris are both very funny and bounce off each other very well, it's really helped me stay clean and away from cravings of opiates even though i'm on subutex.
Todd Shot
April 3, 2018 by Sam In Colorado from United States
Omg, the Todd goes to rehab episode was the best thing I’ve heard in so long. I laughed so hard I cried when the lie about the price of the bag was worse than the murdering. You guys are amazing ? nice work on the honesty, Todd. Still laughing.
The Real Deal
March 25, 2018 by Safroim from United States
Great chemistry between Chris and Dave. I've been listening for a few weeks and have made it up to episode 117. I love that they are gaining some traction in the recovery world by interviewing celebrities. I look forward to listening to the Dr. Drew episode. However, I hope they don't abandon their humble beginnings. I think the first 50 epidoes are the ones that are going to resonate with the non-celebrity afflicted.A wide variety of those in recovery would be great too. Most of their guests are friends they met in rehab. Those guests bring some good dopey stories, but the are all very similar. Inpoatient rehab, get life togetherand now are doing well with jobs and a family. My affliction didn't fully consume me until I was in my early thirties. I already had children, a job, a house and spent years trying to hide my affliction from my community, I certrainly wasn't able to hide it from my kids which could be a whole episode in and of itself. There are lots of directions for you boys to go, please just keep it real.
I think im addicted to this podcast

Cringe worthy - I still love you
March 23, 2018 by SoberRN1 from United States
Let me preface this by saying as usual that I still love you guys. But drooling over dr drew is not a good look. He may be an intelligent physician but his work is biased. Drew says “use Suboxone to stay alive but not if you want quality of life. I’d rather put you on marijuana maintenance”. Dangerous, ignorant statement. I don’t treat patients at the scope he does but I live this life! I work with/treat others on Suboxone. I have two RN jobs... critical care and a college instructor. I have two home businesses. I have a daughter in college. I travel frequently, I ski, run, and coach others in recovery. I facilitate Refuge recovery. No quality of life??? Am I a total outlier? The only person doing well and everyone else on sub is wasting away? Imagine switching me to mj maintenance... you think my life quality would improve?? If I’m the only person out there doing well, I’ll shut up about it. Really. I must be superhuman or something. I’m not even really an advocate to go ON it, but I’m definitely against the negative stigma. Also... drew. AA is great. Yay 12 steps. But we don’t have to live with that status quo! We don’t have to go to meetings that don’t work for us or don’t make sense...staying silent to fit in and never making authentic progress. There are other options!!! Would it be so bad if AA started making changes to fit people’s needs vs people changing/hiding/lying to try and fit in toa dogmatic meeting,?? Chris and Dave you’re better than this. I love your show, I tell everyone about it. But I also tell them to skip that episode. A few times you guys tried to say how you really felt... but it didn’t fit Drew’s opinion, so you banked down. You’re better than that. Way better. Stay strong dopeys.
Amazingly honest drug and recovery show
March 22, 2018 by Dmann8383 from United States
These guys, the hosts Chris and Dave, have put together something Truly special. Even more special and absolutely needed for this generation of people and the addiction mindset that society has created over the past 20 years. The way they are able to weave the insane stories of us addicts, while in active addiction, and keep a strong message of recovery alive throughout the podcast is amazing. To anyone wanting or thinking of taking drugs for the first time, I wouldn’t recommend this podcast. For the lonely addict in or out of recovery I would recommend this podcast above all others. The honesty of the show is exactly what we in recovery need to hear. Often times, I hear others stories and think, “wow I’m never touching substances again so that I never get to the point of them and some of their guests.” With the years of recovery between them, they show how happiness is possible after drugs just by hearing their friendship and banter every episode. It is Truly beautiful. Stay strong Dopey Nation!
You have to listen
March 21, 2018 by Miketaut from United States
Great show with sick war stories that get you hooked, leading you to recovery without even knowing it!
Love these guys!
March 16, 2018 by CourtSC62 from United States
I have been listening nonstop since I found this podcast last week. I am not an addict but recently lost a cousin to the disease. I’ve always been interested in the psychology behind drug use and this podcast has given me some of that along with lots of laughs and a deeper knowledge of so many aspects of addiction. The rapport between these guys is amazing, so real and super easy to listen to! I may have a little crush on them! ?
Love it

Great podcast if you are considering cleaning yourself up. It’s one of the more compelling self help podcast. PS Gas Digital gives away a T-shirt to a reviewer once a month. Hooroo

Dopeys dope
March 13, 2018 by Make pigskin pickem app from United States
Good podcast. I think dopey needs more of dopey nation’s (listeners) stories Less Dave’s music.
Most genuine podcast in its genre
March 12, 2018 by ianGfromSTL from United States
I love the dynamic between Dave and Chris. They balance out the comedy of the drug stories with the serious nature of such material perfectly. Dave is the John Lennon of the show. Chris is the heart throb (more of a Paul McCartney) As a drug addict, in recovery myself, I see these guys as kindred spirits and in fact, I admire them. But anyone could enjoy this podcast, even for pure voyeuristic indulgence.
Entertainingly Therapeutic!
March 8, 2018 by Bibboty Bob from Australia
I’m an Australian mental health clinician who has been in recovery for 6 months from a 20 year stimulants addiction. For me this show is a massive part of my continued journey back into being present in my life instead of constantly chasing what isn’t. To Dave and Chris, and Chris and Dave, keep talking DOPEY!

Bored as trucker looking for podcasts to fill my time, stumbled upon these two cats and have been hooked since. Chris and Dan... are hilarious, serious talk Chris and Dave I love listening to your stories and look forward to every chance I get to tune in!

Just recently started listening. Absolutely LOVE it! Side note; not sure if this is the way to go about it, but any who. Let’s say, I wanted to call and leave a “Dopey” voicemail? Is this still an option? If so, how would I go about doing so? Anyway. Thanks for all the Dopey stuffs!!
Best Podcast in History of Podcasts
March 6, 2018 by TheBigShowII from United States
Updated....Dave and trusty side kick Chris, following is still true, although need more war stories, please! These guys are great, real information. Not the watered down, candy coated information that dominates media today. Highly recommend. More frequent, and longer episodes, please. Thanks
Insert review title here
March 1, 2018 by Mordred Deschain from United States
I started listening to this a few months after getting out of rehab. I was looking for some supplemental 12 step stuff since I wasn't getting to very many meetings. What I found was so much better. It's very reminiscent of the conversations in the smoking area at rehab. I'm glad you guys are still doing this, also I'm approaching 1 year clean this month, so thanks for whatever part your podcast played in that. Stay strong Dopey Nation!

February 28, 2018 by aaliicat from United States
Currently binging through all these episodes, and I can’t get enough. The romance for the nostalgic stories, paired with straightforward encouragement to live soberly, is guaranteed to make a kindred person smile every time and feel a little more connected in this world. We are lucky to hear the stories and get to know you guys through Dopey!
Amazing!
February 14, 2018 by Campv from United States
So funny and crazy! You both should be so proud at how far you have come. Keep up the good work!
A great addition to my program
February 10, 2018 by Gabe R Thomas from Canada
A friend recommended Dopey to me about 10 times over the past few months and I finally caved and quickly found myself listening to almost every episode. At first I was just getting a kick out of the war stories, as I almost never hear that kind of stuff anymore at 2+ years sober. After a few weeks of listening began to realize that Dave calling out Chris for his flaws/defects has been serving to point out some areas in my own life I haven't addressed, it's almost therapeautic hearing Dave berate Chris about stuff that I do myself. I'm now seeking help for some of these behaviours that I didn't even really identify until hearing Dave excoriate Chris publically about them. Thanks for creating such an accessible Podcast, this recovering coke fiend booze bag truly appreciates it!
Proud Member of Dopey Nation!
February 5, 2018 by ConnellyCS from United States
I can't say I was immediately hooked (of course, "hooked"), but the show grew on me and now I absolutely love it and I think I need it. I started listening when I using, continued to listen during 6 months clean following an OD, I listened to it during a 5 month relapse, and I'm listening today with 5 days under my belt. That doesn't sound like a ringing endorsement, but Chris and Dave are so genuine and lovable - They have given me hope, made me laugh out load, and at least for today - I feel like I'm going to make it! Love the new intro - just hope it doesn't get too polished - perfect the way it is guys!
Great podcast
February 2, 2018 by Schwartzybabe from United States
It’s lit.
Stick with it
January 31, 2018 by MagicDragon38 from United States
I highly recommend that you listen to the newest episodes first and if you want go back. I made a mistake and started with episode 1 and in my early stages of sobriety I was impatient and very irritable. I ripped off a bad review which Dave read on episode 114 I believe. I’m MagicDragon 38 and I’m glad I didn’t unsubscribe. This podcast has made me laugh out loud in public places and got me through some bad times. I hang on the edge of my seat during story times and I overreacted to Dave’s intrusive behavior. It gets so much better as they get better and trust me no one is ever hot out of the box with anything when your first starting out. I listen everyday. Love it! Both Dave and Chris are great so don’t give up if you start from the beginning.

Binge dopey not dope
January 27, 2018 by itsprobablyascruffle from United States
Dopey is one of the most genuinely endearing podcasts I’ve ever had the privilege to experience. The undeniable chemistry between the two hosts Dave and Chris make this podcast worth the week long binge it takes to start from episode one to being current. The evolution of the show and the hosts dynamic is worth the listen alone. Listening to two people working through their own recoveries is inspiring. Dopey isn’t your typical recovery podcast, you don’t feel preached at while listening. Instead you feel comforted by others ability to voice the depraved things addiction lead them to do. Dave and Chris’ humorous way of facing the darkness of addiction is unparalleled. I highly recommend giving dopey a try because it’s life changing.
Great Podcast
January 21, 2018 by Starz watcher from United States
Decided I would be one of the ten that listened to Dave and actually wrote a review. I think this podcast is great, I’ve listened to it since the beginning and I listen every Sunday it comes out. The authenticity of the podcast is what I love. Two smart and funny guys in recovery telling and listening to stories from the darker times of addiction. They also occasionally have guests. It’s a great podcast if your just starting to get sober.
A force to be reckoned with
January 20, 2018 by hotstuffcominthru from Australia
Been listening since around episode 10 - this is easily the longest ive listened to a single podcast. I've enjoyed witnessing the evolution of Dave and Chris and the show over that time, and it's helped me come to terms with my own using and make some moves into recovery. Hopefully this gets us to more reviews than Omar? Nah SHAIR is ok too, i've just started checking that one out. Peace and love from another from the Dopey Australia chapter
Funny, real, and raw
January 16, 2018 by Escobar A from United States
This is my new favorite podcast because they tell it how it is. No filter here.
Just Can’t Get Enough
January 16, 2018 by lexicantfindanickname from United States
Dave and Chris are absolutely hilarious. I love their friendship that you can really feel and experience for yourself while listening to the show. It’s the very essence of their characters that makes the show so worthwhile. They express with such rawness the struggle of living with addiction while incorporating humor and shining a light on the possibility of recovery. It’s a great harm deduction tool, as long with helping you feel connected to others without physically having to go into the rooms. I know it’s brought a lot of joy and positivity into my life and I highly suggest everyone to check it out. Whether you’re a drug addict, in recovery, or even anyone else who just enjoys a good laugh!
GEM!

Came across this on my feed and decided to give it a listen. Woah! I laughed so hard and yet at the same time was really intrigued by these stories. A gem in the comic podcast world.
Makes Sobriety Amazing
January 14, 2018 by Karnbutus from Canada
This, coupled with meetings, is making my life worth living. If you don't like meetings start with this podcast. If you like to laugh, listen to this podcast. If you think you are unable to feel anything anymore, listen to this podcast. If you are about to give up, listen to this podcast. If you like drugs, but want to hear about what it's like to live without them, listen to this podcast.
Understanding Dave
January 12, 2018 by Pantsman5000 from New Zealand
I love this podcast. always an entertaining, easy listening, crazy and fun experience which could easily compared to just hanging out with your mates. When I first started listening (from episode 1), I found Dave a little difficult at times with his interrupting and being hard on Chris, but like most first impressions I was proved wrong. Dave cares, is funny and talented musician with Good So Bad getting stuck in my head all the time. When it really clicked for me though is when Daves father came on the podcast. He's exactly the same as Dave and I feel like a somehow understood Dave more from this. His origins. Anyway. Great podcast, and Chris you're awesome too, but I thought that from the start. Stay strong dopey nation. AJ

December 27, 2017 by tigerlilly1342 from United States
These guys are funny, authentic, and honest about their experiences. They get into great discussions about their own and other’s past drug use and recovery, and even when they go off topic it’s still entertaining. This podcast has helped me stay clean because Chris and Dave are realistic and don’t shove recovery down your throat...but they strongly recommend you stay strong, don’t die, and get clean. I’d recommend this podcast to anyone who is new to recovery or still on the fence, binge listening to this got me through some of my hardest days.
5 star

Amazing podcast
December 18, 2017 by Big clogga logga from Canada
I look forward to this podcast every week. There is a fair amount of debauchery mixed in with recovery. Dave has a very unusual obsession with the dry skinned Artie Lange but other than that great podcast
Better than The Shair podcast
December 8, 2017 by mrmccoy007 from United States
Dopey is the gritty, dirty, dopey alternative to Omar. Omar and Shane (that sober guy) know that Chris and Dave are coming for that #1 spot and they are panicking.. keep it up boys. Stay strong and stay sober dopey nation!
Episode 107
December 5, 2017 by Mail Man Actual from United States
One of the best episodes I've heard from these two, the two of these guys are great together, dave can't help but be mean to Chris most of the time. Chris always brings that ?. Together they bring a lot of light to the darkest of corners. It's a dope show ??
Great

Stay Strong!
November 23, 2017 by friend of the cast from United States
While listening to the most recent casts and trying to catch up with the early one's I'm struck by how much Chris and Dave have have evolved along with the podcast. Still compeling with its hilarious retelling of past debauchery, the show has moved towards a stabilizing force of recovery as both its hosts have as well. They both feel more comfortable and confident in their supportive roles to their listeners and guests as we hear them provoke and support each other and the "Dopey Nation" as a whole. With over 100 episodes under their belt, Dave and Chris are providing not only a vital non-judgemental anti-preachy forum for those struggling with addiction, but also a model for other podcasts where people hear bravely honest stories allowing them to laugh and at times cry (both of which I have done while listening). Chris's encyclopedic knowledge of drugs and addiction and Dave's insistance on maintaining an emotionally genuine dynamic between the two brilliant hosts has made this pioneering podcast one of the best, not only for addicts and their family, but for anyone looking for help understanding the epidemic now sweeping the United States.
Ah-mazing!
November 21, 2017 by GinaBstl from United States

Dopey is LIT ???
November 14, 2017 by Jewelz Sherah from United States
YO DOPEY NATION-I found this podcast while searching the self-help category of podcasts in iTunes. (NOT the comedy section) Compared to all the sterile, overtly Christian, “inspirational” recovery/addiction podcasts out there, DOPEY is a breath of fresh air! I’m really into story telling podcasts and listening to you guys and your guests share the “dark humor” of addiction is really fascinating. You guys tell it like it is and your stories are both raw and hilarious. Keep up the great work! Dopey is LIT ?
Awesome content
November 13, 2017 by Mo_ali_ak from United Kingdom
Dave and Chris are fantastic and walk the line between the dark humour that comes from years of using and the silver lining of recovery. So much better than almost all other recovery centric podcasts. Stay strong dopey nation!
Great

November 11, 2017 by J87Tx from United States
You know all those stories you have hidden deep in the darkness of your soul? Even deeper than the skeletons you have buried in your closet? Well these guys shamelessly share those stories with us and the result is brilliant. Sometimes it scare me how much I relate to these guys because they are sick!
Learning
November 11, 2017 by Yung Yaboi from United States
I'm a normie with a best friend who is afflicted. He's made me experience bad and great things I never would have before, but he also showed me Dopey and it really opened my eyes towards addiction and how it effects people differently. Chris and Dave are Gs til the end. They're both very real people who aren't afraid to make good points and bring very dark topics into light. You have to be willing to talk about something in order to conquer it, and Dopey is proof of that. Although some episodes might be boring, you guys have recognized it and work to improve. Keep going and doing that. You guys have already helped more people than you realize and I hope you truly understand it. Thanks guys :)

Hands down best recovery podcast out there
November 7, 2017 by AaronMPLS from United States
Because of Dave’s incessant begging for reviews I have finally broken down and written this.. SHAIR doesn’t have SH*T on dopey so look no further when it comes to finding a good recovery podcast. I’ve been listening for a long time and even went back a couple months ago and listened to all the episodes again. I am living proof that there are hardcore dopey fans out there who still haven’t written a review so here it is.. Five Stars. Keep it up Dave and Chris
GREAT

chris and dave have amazing chemistry and the comradery is sincere feeling. also gotta love daves adorable father he contributes some of my favorite moments! i found the podcast at a dark moment in my sobriety and it really helped me feel less alone. it started with what i thought would be a hilarious collection of debauchery and has grown into an uplifting mix of funny drug tales and just enough recovery hope as to not be preachy.
Dave ... the evil genius behind DOPEY
October 20, 2017 by Dylanmorrow from Canada
Okay - you got me - I may have used that title to get your attention, but it's important.... Dave - your interrupting is what makes you, you! Keep killing it. Chris - your stories are outstanding. Gentlemen, keep doing what you're doing. I started listening to this podcast to listen to funny using stories.... I had know idea that it would lead to me finding help and beginning my path to recovery. It's encouraged me to change my life... just a little podcast, with life changing power. Thank you for everything you do! Please refer to me as "D" if you read his review on the show. A shoutout would mean a lot. Thank you so much! In EP 102 Dave kills it (not in a good way) by literally interrupting Chris 6 times in a row when Chris is trying to actually get the show going ... instead it turns into a senseless ramble about marshmallows and Chris’ mispronunciation of Reese’s.... just let Chris speak ... please !

I have been into podcast’s for quite a while! The joe rogan experience, No Jumper, and The Great Debate are some of my favorites. Until I found Dopey!! This is my all time favorite podcast I have never found so much entertainment from one podcast. Like I feel like every episode is amazing hands down. I have a Bluetooth earphone that I wear under my hair net at work and all day I’m listening to Chris and Dave talk about great drug stories and the great parts of drugs that some people my feel discouraged to talk about. I think so many people would find interest in this podcast if they only knew about it. Keep it up guys!! -Lucas w

Dave and Chris are the John and Paul of Drug-related podcasts. Trust me, I've never even done any drugs besides weed and i'm obsessed with this show. Ii've never done heroin or wanted to- but if they ever stop making dopey episodes I will intentionally develop a habit to cope with the loss of my favorite show. You hear that, guys? STAY STRONG.

"Normie"
September 22, 2017 by Dangerously Z from United States
I'm what Dave and Chris call a "Normie." At least I think I'm a Normie. I have a drinking habit, which I think a lot of moms have nowdays, but hard to tell if it's an addiction. Maybe I'm in denial. I found your podcast through your Instagram, which a recovering Twitter friend rt'd. Your Instagram is the BEST!! Your podcast gives a more complete picture of addiction and recovery, not just the headlines and statistics that are broadcast into our lives every day. I was very tortured while I was bingeing on your earliest podcasts; searching for the "missing episodes." At first I was sure that there was some mathematical genius behind the numbering, and then after some patient listening I learned of the omissions. If the episodes aren't lost forever, I hope you'll share them someday. Good or bad, our experiences are what made us who we are today. It's great how Chris & Dave carry on like an old married couple; quarrelsome one minute and caring and supportive the next. I love that every episode is "the worst." I'm slowly catching up to current podcasts while taking road trips and finishing projects around the house, and I'm so happy to have Dave & Chris by my side at every turn. Stay strong Dopey Nation! Toodles! *i wanna be good so bad

It's great to hear two guys with a similar upbringing and junkie lifestyle tell stories off their debauchery and feats. Sometimes I laugh and think, "I did the same thing", other times I get angry and sick thinking, "I did the same thing". Proud to be apart of the DOPEY NATION. Thank you, Chris and Dave!!!

I get a lot out of this podcast; too much to say. Dave & Chris are comical, inspiring, truthful and endearing. Their banter is the best! It's like hangin' with your buds.

August 25, 2017 by Mr.Wes. from Canada
Dave & Chris, Thanks for the laughs! Canada loves you, at least my girlfriend and I do. This show hits home to anyone that has stayed up for days then looked in the mirror afterwards. While a podcast on addiction isn't, and probably shouldn't be funny, it can be hilarious, Dave and Chris know that, and aren't ashamed to share.. (looking at you chris with the puddle water) There has to be a better way! In all seriousness these two can help anyone from the part time partiers that think they have it in check, to the long term vets that need to put it in check. You guys are proof of how sobriety WILL change your life, and it never hurts to laugh at yourself, keep up the good work guys toooooooodles
By far my favorite podcast!

I love listening to this podcast, the dynamic between Chris and Dave is hilarious and they strike the perfect balance of lighthearted comedy and thoughtful seriousness. They have been a large factor in my getting clean and have inspired several of my friends to try making a change in their life as well. Would definitely recommend!
War stories, humour and some recovery :)
August 20, 2017 by Fayemarion from United Kingdom
This is a great listen for anyone toying with the idea of going into recovery. The humour is enjoyably dark and the guys throw in some recovery bait every now and then. I've got a few years sober and clean and enjoy the honesty and humility in it.
The Greatest Ever!
August 20, 2017 by TaZeR-44 from Canada
Dopey is not only the greatest podcast I have ever listened to in my life, but perhaps the greatest thing to ever grace the face of the earth. When I listen to that first episode of Dopey in the morning the rush I get is better than IV heroin hands down! Dave and Chris are geniuses, their style and grace is unmatched and they are probably the two most powerful human beings in the known 23 universes. I hope they continue making new episodes for the rest of their eternal lives!
Dope!

A reminder of the insanity
August 9, 2017 by RyMerr from United States
For the recovering addict and alcoholic, this podcast recounts the complete insanity of the disease and the great lengths we go through to obtain our drug of choice. Chris and Dave tell hilarious, sad, and scary stories of active addiction while keeping it entertaining and captivating with friendly banter and a sincerity that is unmatched. If you're looking for a reminder of what it was like, a way to keep it green, or simply a laugh; tune in and hold onto your seat. You're in for one hell of a ride. Keep up the great work guys!
Awesome Podcast!
August 8, 2017 by Brandonwsmacdon from Canada
Great podcast, super funny. I love the crazy stories and the recovery stuff too
Love this podcast
August 7, 2017 by goodloufinds from United States
Most of my experiences with talking about using and recovery have been so guilt-ridden and shameful that I've completely turned off even attempting to talk about it, listening or even spend time with anyone that has dealt with addiction. But now - this podcast (that I listened to on a complete whim) takes all that shame away for me and switched my experiences into a sort of "I survived splash mountain" t-shirt. Thank you for your work and what you give people. See ya!

I just had to say something about the last episode. I find it so weird that Dave hasn't heard of heroin being measured in "points". How do u know how much you are getting? "Bags"? How much is in a bag? How many bags in a bundle? Why do u east coasters have to make things so complicated? lol I'm from California and have always been confused when u guys mention buying a said number of bags. So if u had 80 bucks u would get a # of different bags? In California we would get 1 gram (for 80 bucks) in one bag. Have listened to every episode at least once and never thought of writing a review, but once I heard that Dave never heard the phrase "points of heroin" I felt compelled to ask. Anyways you guys are doing a great job with the podcast and I look forward to seeing you both make it big and becoming famous. -Dre from Folsom
Best podcast ever!
August 6, 2017 by Belvis11 from United States
My favorite podcast of all time! I listen every week and often listen to each episode twice. Thanks guys!!
A must listen!
August 2, 2017 by Zarx56 from United States
Love this podcast! Dave and Chris have the best chemistry and are so funny!!! There are episodes I legit LOL. Some of the stories are crazy!
...never enough
August 2, 2017 by mairu103 from United States
Favorite podcast by far. I used to listen to Shair and Recovery Elevator just for the dopey stories and...thank god dopey came along. I've finally arrived. TBH now I just find the other ones annoying. For one, I don't have to forward to minute 20 to get to the good stuff anymore or listen to lame stories about poodles named Ben. I don't mean to hate and I know those guys are doing a great thing for a lot of people but at this point it's just not for me. I'm not sure what I am right now honestly-a normie with afflicted tendencies? (On my best days at least) Anyway, make some more. I can never seem to get enough of a good thing. I guess we'll see. But seriously, keep it up. I'm convinced dopey will be big...for the rest of the world too... EVENTUALLY. Mucho amor, Rooster P.S. This is an edit to an earlier review that I later revisited and it gave me the creeps. I leave you with that.
hilarious, entertaining and helpful
July 29, 2017 by Sam Jethro Dixon from Australia
I love this podcast. I've never really bothered listening to podcasts, but since I discovered Dopey I haven't been able to get enough. Dave and Chris have such great chemistry and their stories are as hilarious as they are insightful and on occasions, jaw dropping. For anyone in recovery, or anyone still struggling with drug abuse, Dopey is a refreshing change from the usual recovery podcasts. Highly recommend.
Love it
July 16, 2017 by titface45 from United States
Listening to Dopey every week gives me the solace I need. Very entertaining. Dave is better than Chris Love the podcast you guys are the best!
review #158

This is for you Chris, I kbow you are not reading it but the number just jumped to 158. Dave, if I could make this podcast #1 I would. Stay awesome!
Great podcast!!
July 13, 2017 by Teck531 from United States
Dopey is great, i listen to it while I work and it gets me through my boring office job. I only wish there were more dopey stories...
Great show

Been listening to this podcast since day one. I always look forward to this podcast it gets me through the week looking forward to it. Helps me laugh at my old life. And has enough recovery to let me feel good. Listening to dopey gives me the feeling of leaving a good meeting. I only wish their was more. Great job guys. Toodles
Can't Stop Listening
June 23, 2017 by Hi my name is junkie I'm a Dan from United States
This podcast is the best! Chris and Dave are super entertaining, and flow together so well! I have got nothing done at work this past week, because I have been making excuses to leave just to drive around and listen! "So good...so bad". Just listen to the first episode if you don't find it funny there's something wrong with you!
Benzo bob loves this podcast

If you have a history of experience in the sub culture of the game you will cream your jeans listening to dopey.
AWESOME PODCAST
June 19, 2017 by BRANDON SAYLER from Canada
sorry for the late review! This is the only podcast I've listened to where I've stuck to it and listened to all the episodes! I feel like I've gotten to know Dave and chris as I've progressed through this series. I find Dave hilarious when he does his shhhhhtick and interjects in all of chris' stories. I can relate to chris in almost every aspect of his personality except for being a drug addict (is that part of your personality? Whatever). Highly recommend to anyone who is interested in discussion of any aspect of drug culture. Keep the episodes coming guys! TOOOOOOODLES -Brandon AKA yung Arson AKA peach
Engaging, emotive and entertaining
June 18, 2017 by Hunterrrro from United Kingdom
Great podcast. These guys are so entertaining and the podcast has a great balance of 'dopey' and rehabilitation. Some episodes could do with some more drug stories but I think I only say that cause I'm still using. I love that listeners can share their stories.
Dopey makes my weekend better
June 18, 2017 by KohlerCarrie from United States
I always look forward to Saturday and a new episode of Dopey. I've been sober just over three months and was lucky to find Dopey on Day 2. As a garden variety alcoholic, I don't always relate to the dope stories but do relate to the honest feelings shared. Dave and Chris offer fresh, humble insights to recovery and their banter is hilarious. Weekends in early recovery aren't easy but Dopey helps make things a little lighter!
Sir
June 15, 2017 by Cameron Hawes from Australia
Amazing. As entertaining as it is helpful for those who've been there or are still trying to get out. I'm subscribed to around 20 odd podcasts and since subscribing to Dopey I've not listened to any of them..Dave, it's 'cathartic', Chris, every word in that story I sent is true, please do it justice ;)
Awesome
June 9, 2017 by Gsegvvhegjjxs from United States
Love this podcast. Keep it up!!
Don't judge it by the episodes at the beginning
June 8, 2017 by Fortean fan from United States
I started this podcast from ep 1 & by ep 5 or 6, I was about to give it up because I thought the original premise of nothing but "war stories" was harmful & at times a trigger. But these guys started adding discussions about recovery, & pretty quickly their message took on a feel of hope rather than dope. So I stuck with it...and I'm glad I did. It's all at once, shocking, interesting, entertaining, funny, sad, and most importantly, at the end of the day, hopeful & inspiring & brutally honest & brave. Good job Chris & Dave! Bravo! My opinion is that you are providing a much needed service & also building a community that can in many ways become accountable to each other. Including both of you! If either of you two go back out there, you'll have to come back and tell the dopey nation, that you threw it all away again! Stick with this....it's doing just as much for you two as it is for us. Be strong dopey nation & toodles! The Mayor of Buffalo
Best trip I never had
June 8, 2017 by JohnnyFartPant5 from United Kingdom
Alright fellas, just thought I would leave you a review as a way of saying thank you for all the entertainment you have brought my way since I first discovered your awesome podcast back in the day (last year). This is the best and only podcast that gets me excited when a new episode is available. The two hosts, Chris and Dave are inspirational and very funny to boot. I used to think Dave was a tad grumpy & bossy in the beginning but he's hilarious and reminds me a lot of myself. Dave, mate, you are becoming a true counter culture icon (and musical talent) and I love hearing your words of wisdom and almost child like questioning when Chris is telling a story (I am the same when someone is telling me a story). Dopey nation are a breath of fresh air in the addiction recovery field. It's raw, it's real and it can sometimes give me a rush as I vicariously relive my experiences of ecstasy and oblivion. This world needs more blokes like you two. Stay safe, Dopey nation. Toodles. JohnnyFartPants.
Thanks

Kicked most everything years ago but alcohol never seemed to go away. Did something so disastrous that I lost a lot of money and possibly my freedom so I decided to put down the alcohol. Hit the gym as we all do and found Dopey. Wow. Loved it. Now I just got to stay sober till I get to the next episode. Stay strong Dopey Nation. Toodles.

The best podcast I listen to
June 5, 2017 by TF1976 from United States
This is my all time favorite podcast, it's witty and great to listen to any time of the day. It's super real without being so heavy- I can listen to five episodes in a row without feeling like I need an emotional break. Chris has the best laugh and great stories, and Dave always cracks me up while keeping chris in check. Great stuff!

Love this podcast. Best about addiction that I've found. Love the stories,have learned a lot and laughed. Chris/Dave are great together.
Love you

Dopey dudes. You are amazing. *insert mean comment about Dave just to annoy him* (notice how I can't think of anything negative to say) You guys are great, keep blessing us with your souls please. Thank you for everything. ♥️
Binge listen
May 26, 2017 by Not afflicted from United States
I found this podcast about a week ago and pretty much binge listened to all the episodes. The banter between Chris and Dave is amazing, and you can visualize the insanity. I've learned a lot of random thingsunrelated to addiction and drugs, and have laughed at least 3x per an episode. Some of their stories make me grateful for being a "normie," but I'm beginning to understand a different side of addiction. I have friends that probably need some help and I hope they are listening to dopey so they won't feel alone. Also, Dave has a great voice and his music is amazing! I really hope they put the songs up on the website, iTunes or create a YouTube channel... stay strong dopey nation!
Great Podcast!

Wicked dark beer
May 17, 2017 by Sipperton Scrimsby from United States
Looking for tales of reckless abandon from two junkie knuckleheads? Look no further. Chris' degenerate tales provide a backdrop for the witty comments and enlightened perspective from the one and only Dave. Feel like you've entered the shoes of a psychedelic eating, garbage water injecting, veterinarian robbing madman as Chris leads you through his past. All the while, laughing harder than you thought possible at Dave's endless banter. Truly a top 3 podcast of all time.
Good Review

Hey guys. It's me the doggy day care guy you mentioned for a second on a previous episode. I just wanna say, you two are both awesome and you both contribute greatly to the dopey nation. HOWEVER, Dave....dude, you are what makes it so enjoyable. Chris is super smart but, Dave has that sneaky comedy that makes it so awesome. You both have a great dynamic. But Dave is the money maker! Haha also....Chris....maybe you should compliment Dave 5 times in a row on the next episode. It would be nice to hear Dave get some praise for once. Keep your head up Dave, you rock! Also I wanted to let you two know that I just picked up my 12 month chip and you two help keep my recovery sane. So thank you. Much love and sobriety, Joshua from Tennessee ??‍♂️ tootles
AOD worker
May 14, 2017 by Aaron Armo from Australia
Hi Chris and Dave my name is Aaron and I'm 29 years old. I'm currently studying AOD. I think I was thrown onto this career by my uncle who was and still is a user (heroin). He's 49. I've been trying to specialise with mindfulness, the 12 step program and I've finished my counselling postgraduate. And even though it's great to have a conversation with my uncle and try and get him on the road to recovery, It's really encouraging/ a positive influence on my life listening to you two. Keep up the amazing work-you powerhouse comedy duo. Stay strong dopey nation!
These guys are idiots!
April 29, 2017 by Darkinthepark from United Kingdom
But they are loveable idiots and both have loads of great stories. If you like to take a sordid look at the dark side of addiction and have a sense of humour then you need to check this podcast out. It's very entertaining and both Chris and Dave carry the show very well. Highly recommended! Love all the way from England. Darkinthepark

I heard about this podcast through my local coffee shop in San Diego. Chris and Dave have such a great chemistry. Every episode I learn about recovery all the while hearing stories of the life of addiction.
thats it
April 15, 2017 by Cubras from Sweden

Debauchery & Hope with Chris Dave
April 13, 2017 by GD Unit from United States
I love the podcast, I've listened to just about every episode over the course of the last year. I always am so excited to hear your new ones when they come out and they often have me laughing out loud at work while listening. The guests, emails, call ins, and voicemails you guys have during the podcast are always great and I can relate to a lot of the stories you guys talk about in some way or another. The podcast can have you in tears laughing at some points, but can also be very informative about different things people have tried in the attempts at recovery or what they do to stay sober on a daily basis. I love your podcast and have been listening since the beginning, sorry I didn't write a review sooner. Love you guys and what you do. You always given me hope in some of my hardest times recently. Thank you, Greg From Philly

April 12, 2017 by JonMaynard from United Kingdom
Great podcast, well worth a listen. Takes a couple of episodes for the hosts to find their stride, make sure you stick with it. Once you feel like you know the guys it's becomes hilarious.
this podcast is about hope
April 5, 2017 by carmelita camus from United States
after pushing the boulder up the mountain, only to watch it roll to the bottom again, there is a short reprieve while we walk down to retrieve it. it's so absurd, we have to laugh our way down: the alternative is oblivion. it gives me hope to laugh along with dave and chris.

Favorite new podcast
March 29, 2017 by Andysf301 from United States
Does a great job exploring the tapestry of modern american addiction and recovery. The recovery talk is great and non-dogmatic and the war stories are endlessly entertaining. The subjects all hit close to home, from spirituality to ice cream and Seinfeld. The guests are great for adding additional voices/perspectives. As someone in active addiction its a great reminder of the camaraderie of recovery and humor central to survival in sober world. I have countless hours to listen to podcasts working as a bike messenger and dopey is a staple of my current listening world. 'So good so bad' is a killer song. Do you have the chords/lyrics accessible? Would love to learn and play it. Keep it up guys!
Dopest podcast to binge of 2017
March 27, 2017 by Aces4earl from United States

This podcast is for people with "severe mental illness" or for people simply trying to find something to relate to. You'll laugh, have a craving, or want to tell them one of your dopey stories!! Good luck - but seriously I feel like I've known these guys for years, so funny. I'm so happy I found this podcast??

Love Dave, love Chris, love Dave's dad, one of the best podcasts around. More phish chat please, ain't no dopey stories like phish your dopey stories
Worth the wait - Dopey is straight fire.
March 20, 2017 by Conceptuallogic from United States
At first it may be hard to get behind as it's very chaotic and Dave, let's just be straight you did interrupt a little too much in the beginning. Even Chris sounded annoyed by it. STICK WITH IT. These two catch their flow after some time, audio quality improves markedly, they realize they need to stop burping and eating while recording and the synergy between the two really comes alive. It's an interesting ride with these two, from start to current episodes, but I would suggest anyone interested in drug culture and/or anyone trying to curtail use of any substance to dive in and just ride it out. You'll be rewarded if you do. It's to the point now where I wish I didn't have to wait until every Saturday. It's not enough. Let's give these guys the support they deserve. They've got a really good thing going here.
Great podcast, y'all need to make money!
March 20, 2017 by Ccopple88 from United States
I love this podcast. It's real. Suggestion- create a premium membership that we can purchase allowing us access to all past episodes. Y'all should lock the first episodes. Not to talk about another podcast, but check out recovered podcast and how they set up their premium system. Y'all deserve to cover your costs and get paid for your time. Thanks for everything!
Perfect recovery comedy podcast
March 19, 2017 by undeadslim from United States
Dave and Chris talk recovery and war stories in a perfect mix and balance. Each episode is better than the last and even the podcasts that don't have much happening besides them small talking about tv shows, it still works. They play really well off each other. Quality guests and good laughs throughout. Vape knocks, Chris zoning out mentally, Dave complaining about everything and nothing all at once and stories of pure debauchery. They hit you with the dopey but then temper it well with recovery. There shameless and it works. ??. Hope you guys read this online and Dave likes a certain part and asks Chris to re-read it. I find that hilarious. Keep it up guys cause if you feel your talking to a small audience your not and the dopey nation is growing.
F*cking AWESOME
March 19, 2017 by SuperEmbryo from United States
This podcast quickly shot up my list of favorites and is as enjoyable (if not even more so) as Rogan's and Bill Burr's...for me anyway. I only found this podcast in February and have already gone through a year's worth of Dopey! For a recovering junkie like me to a normie this podcast kills it! Keep letting that freak flag fly!
New favourite!
March 17, 2017 by Adam Lawrence Refuel from United Kingdom
This is my new favourite podcast. The guys are so honest about their crazy exploits in their past lives, that I can never stop listening, even when I'm trying to sleep! Sorry Dave but Chris's stories are so unbelievably f@cked up that he trumps you in the storytelling department. Hats off to you two and as a few previous guests mentioned, I think your podcast is going to be big. Just give it time. One suggestion which I think Chris will agree with is, less waffle about nothingy topics, and "hit us with the dopey!" Good luck guys Adam

Awesome podcast
March 1, 2017 by All names took from United States
I love this podcast. I'm pretty new to podcast in general and pretty new to sobriety. Like days new. It's Been a rough 20 years of hard abusive. Countless rehabs and "never going to do it agains" i was a little worried about a drug podcast and sampled dozens untill i found these guys. Now I have spent the last few days going back through all the old shows and its been really helpful. I recommend this podcast to anyone. ???

Dopey Podcast
February 22, 2017 by J_R_S_11 from United States
Whats up Dave and Chris, Started listening to you guys a few weeks ago and gotta say I love the podcast. I am all about the crazy stories you guys both sound like you have been through the wringer and made it out to the other side. The knicks story was hilarious and also the garage bag of coke had me laughing pretty good. You are always asking for a review and figured I would drop in and say keep up the good stuff and that I enjoy your podcast.
Great stories!
February 19, 2017 by Big Geordie John from United Kingdom
Dopey is definitely my new favourite podcast. I love the crazy stories and have plenty of my own, but I don't want my wife to leave or to get fired. I'm glad you guys got clean and came out the other side, you're an inspiration, I'm not there yet.

Just Awesome
February 13, 2017 by Kuntzie13 from United States
Guys, I know I have sent a couple harsh emails about the eating and stuff on the air, but I could not take it back fast enough. This has become my favorite listen, by far! I hope someday to get to meet you guys. What an awesome podcast. From a recovery standpoint I know you guys go back and forth about this being good for you or not... I just want to say I'm a big fan of laughing at mistakes and bringing them to light. There is no reason to hide from who we are and what we've done. Life is too short to let other people tell us what to do. I do understand the actual recovery part and taking advice but that's not really what I'm referring to here. Dave's dad had a special place in this show. Even though we have only heard from him a couple times... he brings in the family part of addiction and recovery, and he's great to hear on the show and your relationship with family! Keep up the good work.... forever listener here.
I'm hooked on Dopey
February 12, 2017 by Dani from Oregon from United States
I have to get my fix of Dopey! New to the podcast scene, I stumbled across this little gem. A wonderfully funny and somewhat shocking podcast. Dopey will have you jonesing for more. Brilliantly honest. A train wreck you can't turn away from. Before you know it, you will find yourself a part of the Dopey Nation. This podcast is straight fire!!!!! I think you have to not subscribe to podcast to leave a review on iTunes. That might be why they have 450 peeps subscribed and only 30 reviews.

Not losing listeners
January 30, 2017 by Nate Bowe from United States
You're definitely not losing me as a listener. Dopey is dope. I listen to you guys at my desk at work and it helps me get thru the day. Please continue this podcast. P.s. I would like to hear more mushroom stories and possibly how psychadelics affected u in a positive way. That has been the focus of the youth lately in my circle. And one of u takes long deep breaths into the mic and it's irritating that is all love and peace

I'm a 45 year old Alchoholic .. I started pretty late in my life . Got married when I was 38 . Had two beautiful children. My son developed Autism . It created so much stress in our relationship. I started using Alchohol as a medication to deal with the situation. I stopped arguing with my wife about what was best for my son . She absorbed herself in his recovery. I absorbed myself in work . I love my son .. but I used alcohol to grieve for a normal life for him .. he is really good now .. intellectual .. still autistic quirks . My wife and I separated nearly two years ago .. even a couple off shots o whiskey ..a bottle hidden in the shed , it got a hold of me .. the Australian pastime . I'm still battling this demon . I go to AA . But relapse with stress . I don't drink for weeks on end . I stop when I get the demons out of my head .. guilt , regrets . But it isn't normal . I love your podcast. It's helping me with hope . Cheers boys! ( no pun intended)
Great podcast - but not easy
January 26, 2017 by arlinmt from United States
Was searching for podcasts dealing with recovery when I stumbled upon Dopey. Listened to the first few episodes. They were rough. Really rough. But there was something about Dave and Chris' honesty and sincerity that led me to listen more. As the step-parent of a cocaine adict (now in recovery - hopefully), the stories gave me isight into addiction that helps me better understand the disease. It's also been a joy to be watch these two grow in recovery. The episode with Dave's dad, hands down the best ever. I highly recommend the Dopey Podcast - I don't know where it's going, and I often want to send these two to their rooms without supper, but I'll continue to listen and enjoy.

To keep it simple , this podcast is great . The stories they tell are hillarious , interesting and really take you on an adventure ; you feel like you are there . Dave and Chris come across as really approachable and bounce off eachother . This is the podcast you were looking for if you're fed up with boring people talking about boring things .
Great show

Can't get enough of Dave and Chris.... unless it's Dopey50. I wanted to blow my brains out but still finished to the end for some reason. Chris please, for the love of God stop the music. Otherwise, such a good podcast especially if you're an addict out there or at any point in recovery. Keep it up guys! Eric
The u in favorite.
January 9, 2017 by Listener #33 from Australia
A brilliant podcast from a couple of fantastic minds. Co me on, listeners, become part of Dopey Nation. To Chris and Dave, I apologise for the short review, but I promise to write a longer email. Toodles!

Self-deprecating humor at it's best. Story telling is all about content and delivery, and while this isn't The Moth (nor is it trying to be), the disruptions and digressions only add to the Podcast. Keep it distracted, disjointed and dopey. PS- The vaping into the mic is infuriating, and yet I keep tuning in. Go figure.
Best podcast ever
January 5, 2017 by Chefmeeks1127 from United States
Great job Chris and Dave this podcast has changed my life ??
Evrytime I write a review It doesnt post. This is my 3rd. My 1st one was rlly long so cbf with that
January 4, 2017 by Demeter Y from New Zealand
Amazing podcast and amazing hosts. I love you both xoxoxoxo mwah
***Chris and Dave rule!***
January 3, 2017 by FREEFLY100 from United States
By far the most hilarious yet honest podcast I have ever encountered . Chris and Dave may not place a huge emphasis on recovering their fellow dopey nationals yet I'm convinced they are far more healing than they know. I have listed to every single episode and many more than once. I haven't found another podcast that grabs me this way. They've got something very special and I know they will only continue to skyrocket in popularity. The only thing I fear is that after 20 years of weekly hour long episodes will they one day run out of stories? They can't! Love, chyna whyte ?
Addicted to dopey
January 1, 2017 by Becky from Oregon from United States
Hi Dave and Chris I started listening to your podcast in April 2016. My family and I did an intervention with my 20 year old son who is addicted to heroin. He has been using needles for about four years and at the time was living in his car. I am a meth addict from the 90's and hit my rock bottom while smoking meth or crank as we Called it then. I totally understood the affliction but because of so much time passing I wasn't aware of new and different drugs that are so popular. I am a desperate to save my sons life and was in search of all the information I could get my hands on. Your podcast came up on one of my searches I started listening and right away was taken in with your charisma and the way your stories are told and the connection you have. My son started working again after a few months at home and we carpool and listen together every day. We have caught up very quickly and know look forward every time we see the red indicator on the podcast app to listen to the next one. At first my son was very reluctant to talk about his drugs and habits and routines of the past. And I of course ask a million questions and want to know everything. I'm not sure if he felt shameful or he was protecting me by not speaking out. But what I do know is that your podcast your stories and your voices everyday started a spark in my son to be ok with telling me his stories and now we have conversations, good honest healing ones. So my son and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Please continue your podcasts there are so many of us listening. From one desperate parent to the millions of others out there trying to save our children give Dopey a try you won't be sorry
Great addiction stories and banter
December 22, 2016 by Amy0338 from United States
Love listening, lots of banter and great stories.
When you think your bottom was the bottom...

Thanks for the podcast. Binge listening and loving it. Thanks guys keep it up.
Toodles ????
December 13, 2016 by Bríannnnnaaaa from United States
I love the banter between these two. Whether you're in recovery or a full blown addict, you'll enjoy or have a laugh. 'War stories' are usually peppered with 'Recovery Rd'. Give it a listen. Well balanced.
Love it
December 6, 2016 by 082Nicolle from Australia
Just discovered your podcast and am hooked. Your stories are so interesting. Listening all the way from Australia. Love it :)
Awesome podcast
December 4, 2016 by Robp8989 from Canada
Awesome podcast for anyone who was/is an addict or just regular people curious about life as an addict. Dave and Chris tell ridiculous and hilarious stories from their addiction days and somehow I get more recovery motivation from Dopey than from any recovery focused podcast. Whatever struggles you're experiencing, these guys experienced it too and GOT THROUGH IT. Great podcast!
Can't stop listening...
December 2, 2016 by Ariesjmt from United States
I haven't stopped laughing (and occasionally cringing, in a good way) since I started listening. My new favorite.
One of a kind very cool show !!
December 1, 2016 by Ninja Bros. from United States
Awesome show period...Chris & Dave banter is hilarious, always look forward to the new episodes each week. Keep up the Great work guys
Love it!

Totally addicted to Dave and Chris. Keep it up guys
Unique podcast
November 20, 2016 by IvanhoeMartin from United States
This is a very unique and interesting podcast. I don't really listen to podcasts, but this is like a podcast that Owsley Stanley might listen to. Give it a try!
Dopey Addict
November 9, 2016 by Laur-Username from Canada
I don't suffer from any real addictions, just that I can't get enough of Dave & Chris. Keep up the great work !
My favorite podcast ❤️
November 2, 2016 by Pederson_ from United States
The reasons this is my favorite podcast are too long to list. I have been a fan since the beginning. I have various family members that are afflicted and in turn it has began an amazing journey for myself as a substance abuse nurse. Thank you Dopey for the day I googled heroin podcasts and for delivering ?❤️
Entertaining AF
October 27, 2016 by Jenn Bones from Canada
These guys are hilarious and storeys are entertaining. You don't need to be a drug user to enjoy this material. It's all around a good time. Just their laughs and banter alone will brighten up your day.
Addictive addicts
October 27, 2016 by Ttcreature from United States
Love these guys. Can't stop listening. I love the dynamic between these two men. I feel like I'm sitting in a living room with two best friends who talk too much (but actually have entertaining conversations) and I'm just sitting back and enjoying the show. Not afflicted myself but surrounded by addicts and alcoholics my whole life. It's great to find the humor in something that is way too often devastating. Thanks for the stories and laughs. Stay strong dopey nation!
Makes me Lol
October 26, 2016 by TroubleinParadis from United States
Nothing like getting a laugh from depravity and making a long bus commute go that much faster. Dave and Chris put a nice spin on the 2-dudes-talking genre with great interaction and guests. It's just storytelling at its finest. Give a listen for maybe the best 9-11 story I've heard yet.
Five Stars
October 24, 2016 by Dans210 from Australia
My days were spent expanding my mind with motivational pod casts. That was until I came across Dopey. Top work guys. The constant nagging for reviews finally worked on me. Keep up the great work.
Funny & Addicting
October 21, 2016 by SweetPea611128 from United States
Dave & Chris are extremely entertaining. Great guest appearances as well. Definitely worth listening!
Pure entertainment
October 21, 2016 by Poc frogs the best from United States
Dopey is hilarious. I love the banter between Dave and Chris and Chris's stories are the funniest!! When he was saying how he would name the meals based on that Flesh n bone dong I was dying. Awesome job guys!! You need more women and should have me on as a guest ???
Wicked cool clam chowder.
October 21, 2016 by Pimply tuts from United Kingdom
Chris and Dave smash it. This is my favourite podcast due to its format and entertaining plus original content. I've actually LoL'ed in public because of the hilarious stories.Keep it up guys. Thanks, Tuttle.
Dopey nation!!!!!!

DOPEY is da BOMB!
October 19, 2016 by Dave g00se from United States
I love this podcast and listen to it daily! I'm also beginning to communicate with both Chris and Dave which is cool to be able to do! These dudes both compliment each other perfectly which in turn leaves is listeners with a hilarious stories, true insight, and all-around good ol entertainment! Keep up the good work boys!!!
Dave gets no love.
October 19, 2016 by [memo] from United States
Dave gets no love. They are both equally entertaining but Dave is my fav. Thought you might need a little bit of an ego boost. Also congrats on 50! And your new mic has improved the listenability of your show by leaps and bounds. And yes. There is a big dif in quality when you switch from Omni to bi. Just an FYI. :)
"Two of the most entertaining since the 'Artie Lang Days’” is correct.
October 17, 2016 by masonvickers from United States
I’ve been meaning to write a review for some time, but for some reason could never have them post from my phone. I’ve been listening since episode 15 and Dave & Chris get even better with time. I actually go get coffee/a pack of smokes after dinner and listen to the new episode as my Sunday evening ritual. I hope these guys never run out of stories, and it seems that they probably won’t. Support these guys all you can. And yes, the title was to stroke Dave’s ego because I dig the show *that* much.
Sully/That crazy otter guy.
October 16, 2016 by OtterRivers from United States
It's not a "good" show. But that's it's draw for me. I like that it's just stumbley-bumbley, made up as they go. With real terrible parts here and there. Obviously it has great parts too. But without the stinky, lame parts i wouldn't feel at home with it. It's just like REEAAALLL lol. Real dumb sometimes. And sometimes real cute. I wouldn't change it. Though I do wish it was less popular. I think it would be perfect if it was just me and maybe 30 other listeners or so. :). No celebrity guests. Haha. Jk guys. Not really but I mean, I do like you. I take long breaks so I can listen to multiple episodes in a row. Binging, you could call it... Haha. (Did u get that I chose the name sully cuz 1 of ur early episodes where you're talking about Boston and trying to force Chris to do the accent. Sully. ... That's where I got that.) Anyway glad the show is still going even though there might be too many other fans. I want to feel special u know? :) ?↔️
Chris
October 14, 2016 by Captainstubasa from Australia
Very entertaining and easy to follow.
Dopey podcast is fire.
October 7, 2016 by SteveUKIV from United Kingdom
Love the hosts, the podcast is addictive as the subject matter. Love how Chris and Dave manage to keep it real, whilst mixing enough nostalgic banter with recovery. You passed the test! A true fan for life.
This podcast is dope!
October 1, 2016 by LesleyNYC from United States
I stumbled on this podcast when I was looking for something to listen to at work. I'm so glad I found it because it's hilarious and so relatable. I've had my issues with opiates and the law and I've been on Opioid Replacement Therapy for 3 years. I don't consider myself "sober" or "clean" because I use from time to time but the stories on this podcast definitely remind me why I got on Suboxone and try to have a more stable life. I've never done rehab and have only been to one NA meeting so that side of recovery is very interesting to hear be talked about. No one ever talks about that type of stuff outside of meetings or close friends it seems. So thanks! Sorry for the rambling review. Excited for the next podcast.
Great podcast.
September 27, 2016 by Death666.666.666 from United States
After hearing to write a review from you guys on almost every episode; I finally am. Listening to you guys reminiscing about your past and telling funny stories is great. Your back and forth banter and how Dave is always interrupting Chris is hilarious. Keep up with the guests; they keep a fresh voice in our ears every once in a while and it's great to hear their stories as well. With always asking for emails and joking back and forth about them; you guys should read more emails from the dopey nation! This podcast is definitely worth listening too; and I can't wait to hear more episodes. Thanks!
Awesome podcast!
September 18, 2016 by JAnscomb from United Kingdom
Dopey is a great podcast which is very addictive (sorry!). Dave & Chris are really fun to listen to even when they aren't talking about their addictions. I'm only half way through but I can't stop listening.
Nick Reiner
September 13, 2016 by justanotherdruggie from United States
I was on my computer looking through old messages on FaceBook. I spotted one from a guy named Chris. At first I thought he was some dude hitting on me. It turns out he's a co-host of a show called "Dopey". I looked up the premise and it was to my knowledge the only forum in which you could freely express your drug experiences. Weather they be good or bad. I knew I had both but I don't think they knew I didn't have any "clean time". Due to the forgiving nature of the show they let me on anyways. I was able to tell my side of the story. A side I hope people can relate to or at the very least laught at. Anyways, these guys are great and so is the show!
Stellar
September 1, 2016 by Joebugattti from United States
I feel like I'm listening to a replay of conversations I have had with my friends. Every conversation goes upside down, sideways and totally of the rails. Love it, don't change your show style fellas
Great fuc!!;&: podcast
August 23, 2016 by ginger69001 from United States
First I would like to say thank you, great job super funny and entertaining. I love how honest Chris is, Dan I mean Dave it's a lot better when you don't hold back and share your stories. I like where you guys are headed. And for the last lady this is not AA, last time I checked there is no traditions to follow when podcasting. Keep up the good work. Oh, my wife thinks dave interrupts to much, but she only listened to one podcast. Lol (lots of love)
Hilarious and Inspirational....listen to this now!!!!!
August 22, 2016 by Chef Phish 843 from United States
Love the candor, delivery and straight talk about recovery. Feels like the "meeting after the meeting." Suggestive and instructive without being preachy or condescending. Please please keep it up. New microphone sounds sick too.a
Comedy!!
August 20, 2016 by Jefrito from United States
Raw comedy at its finest.
Amazing Podcast!
August 19, 2016 by chaseinbed from United States
I can't enough of these guys. From the stories they share to the guests they bring on, every moment (okay, most moments...) is unique and enjoyable. There's laughs, tangents, disgusting stories, and relatable moments (YMMV) - the hallmarks of a great podcast, at least for me. "Dopey" is real people having real conversations about taboo subjects that many of us have experienced and can't always talk about in everyday life. I HIGHLY recommend this podcast to any recovering or struggling addict that likes to have a good laugh at themselves and others like them. You might even find some unexpected wisdom, perspective, and understanding. No NA/AA rhetoric here - just real recovering addicts being and sharing themselves with willing listeners. 5/5, without a doubt.
Dopey is just perfect
August 12, 2016 by A bunnee from United States
There isn't really a better word to describe this podcast as Dopey. It is a good balance of funny, dumb, and dysfunctional. I listen when I'm in the car or at work and sick of office chatter and monotonous routines, it's the perfect cure for boredom.??
Great podcast
August 8, 2016 by Tomahawk765679999 from United States

The most honest podcast I've ever heard.
August 4, 2016 by Willthethrill007 from United States
I highly recommend this insane show. Chris and Dave are lucky to be alive to tell the tail. I must listen for addicts and Normies alike!!!
Too much!!!!!

Best podcast about drugs- EVER!!!
July 24, 2016 by Marquis De Barge from United States
This is absolutely, positively, the best podcast on the subject of drugs around, no question! They deal with the subject in a truly unique and entertaining way. Amazing hosts and unbelievable stories!!! Everyone should give a listen. That means you.
Best Podcast Ever!
July 19, 2016 by Nate7373927 from United States
I found this podcast while I was at work yesterday. I have been hooked ever since! This is the best podcast I have ever heard. This one is a must listen every week.
listen to dopey!!!
July 19, 2016 by forny's from United States
dopey is great -- a rollicking, self-reflective good time. dave and chris are hilarious together. they both are great at telling stories and calling each other out. it just feels good to listen to. a friend rec'd it to me and now I can't stop listening! check it out.
Extremely hilarious
July 19, 2016 by Johnny Takes from United States
Hilarious stories of drug fueled mishaps. Chris and Dave are both funny. I'm addicted to this podcast! (get it?) Just check out the episode with Danny Boy from House of Pain or any of them really, they are all very entertaining. Dave has a great rambling shtick and Chris interjects hilariously. I'd go so far as to call it uproarious and very few things are uproarious but this podcast is. Get on it before everyone else does.
Oh the glory!
July 18, 2016 by Kajrajdidaj from Sweden
This is by far the funniest podcast I've ever listened to. The antagonistic banter between Dave and Chris, the oh so relatable stories of what you will do for drugs/drugs will make you do and the dark humor that is looking back on your life as an addict has totally done me in. I've probably listened to every episode at least 5-6 times, just to pass the time until the next one comes out. Being a Dopey junkie is probably my healthiest habit at the moment but motivates me to strive for recovery, so thanks guys!
War stories are hot
July 15, 2016 by Heidi Miskeb from United States
This podcast is hilarious. The stories are wildly entertaining and the bromance between the two hosts is really charming.
Great stuff
July 6, 2016 by JesseInCT from United States
A sorely needed podcast about recovery (or sometimes the opposite) that doesn't take itself too seriously. The hosts have a genuine repoire and hilarious firsthand knowledge of their subject. Really looking forward to diving into the back catalogue on my commute.
The perfect middle ground
July 4, 2016 by Lee Tay from New Zealand
Somewhere inbetween the podcasts that are 101% dedicated to sobriety and recovery comes 'Dopey' - which I recently discovered. The hosts, both having done their time in recovery; broadcast stories of everything inbetween the diehard sobriety chants and straight out of the horror-comedy genre 'casts. A place where those of us who are still in the mix, and, those of us whom have lifted themselves up out of the mix can come together and share their stories and shennanigans about times new and old - if you've had them - you got them; we all know it. Here's to a great podcast all in all! 5/5!
Awesome show ??????
July 2, 2016 by Sepelong from United States
Hey guys, love the show, keep up the awesome work ???????
Never Laughed So Hard!!
June 29, 2016 by TraceyLa48 from United States
This podcast is hilarious. The anecdotes they tell about themselves in each episode make me feel like I'm not alone. The show also has great spontaneous flow. It doesn't appear to be rehearsed or rigid in its format. The Dopies have done a great job creating and bringing such a sensitive, serious topic to their listeners in an enjoyable way.
STRAIGHT FIRE.
June 29, 2016 by masonvickers from United States
Would have written a longer, better review but I always get kicked out when I try to post. In a nutshell, these guys are the best.
candid, funny, authentic
June 26, 2016 by an8stasia from United States
If you miss the Artie Lange era of the Howard Stern show this podcast will not disappoint!!! Great stories of drug/alcohol/etc debauchery that addicts and normies alike can belly laugh to. I binge listened to 30+ episodes in 2 days when I discovered this podcast because it's just that f-ing excellent!
Surrender to this podcast
June 26, 2016 by MPWestCounty from United States
Hilarious. The best stories, love these guys. Recovery made easier, through a twisted, wicked sense of humor.
Great podcast

Dopey the dopey podcast about dope is dope!
May 24, 2016 by satanzilla from United States
From debauchery to recovery and back again- Dave and Chris and friends tell the most awesome, most awful, most hilarious, most shocking true stories of drug addiction you will ever find in one place. Nevermind all the drug and recovery talk, I think Chris and Dave have amazing chemistry and provide enough quality laughs, intriguing ideas, and subversive fun for anyone to get hooked on this weekly podcast (well, not anyone, but anyone I would want to hang with anyhow). If you are an addict, in recovery, or just enjoy voyeuristically dipping your toes into someone else's pool of depravity (like me), you need to feed your head some Dopey.

May 18, 2016 by Crystal queen junkie 31 from United States
Chris is hysterical and that other guy is pretty funny too. Seriously though these podcast are great and I highly recommend them!
Hilarious
May 16, 2016 by Davidam0444 from United States
Chris's insane stories, (horrifying at times) and Dave's hilarious interjections and ribbing of Chris will keep you laughing the whole time. This podcast has become a staple for me, and once you give it a listen it will be for you too!

May 8, 2016 by Scroble-Dee! from United States
It's like two garbage trucks time traveling through the dumping grounds of their morbid and hilarious pasts. A hodgepodge of stories that could only be pulled from the unpredictable lives and experiences of two rock-bottom addicts. Baffling and entertaining…..
So funny, check it out ASAP
May 8, 2016 by Tedmann12 from United States
These two are honestly hilarious. Do yourself a favor and listen to them, you won't regret it.
Genius
May 7, 2016 by Bigcrimppin from United States
Pure comedic genius. Both as a guy in longer term recovery and a fan of comedy, I highly recommend this very entertaining new podcast. Great work
A plus plus
May 5, 2016 by Woodsman112 from United States
I love this guy Chris. He is such a degenerate. It's important for guys like Chris give hope to all the other degenerates that someday, somehow, they may be able to have a podcast just like him. We need more mark prank calls

Absurdity at its best Dangerous? Maybe Useless? Definitely Hilarious? Absolutely
Hilarious!!!!
April 30, 2016 by TinaRose@215myk from United States
This is a hilarious show based off the crazy antics in addiction & recovery. Dopey is not your typical podcast on recovery. The show features 2 recovering addicts telling tales of crazy experiences in active addiction with humor as well a subtle but clear message of hope in a 12 step fellowship. Finally a podcast about recovery with some laughs!!
Keep them coming!!!!!
March 25, 2016 by Emmie Elle from United States
I prefer longer episodes!! Go for hour long! So glad I came across this podcast!!
I'm hooked!
March 22, 2016 by The Berry 5 from United States
Stumbled upon this podcast and piled through every episode. Feels like I'm listening in on some ridiculous conversations I would have with a few friends. Keep going, the emails will start to roll in boys!
